Scenario A: School Leader

You have been named a finalist for the position of Principal of ABC School (you can rename for your plan). The school has more than its fair share of challenges:

• Lowest performing school in the district
• Title 1 school (89% receive free or reduced lunch)
• High turnover ratio with current faculty/staff
• Low support from the PTA/PTO organizations
• The former principal was relieved of his duties for poor communication, mismanagement of funds, and for lack of policy development/implementation

The superintendent believes that you have the skill set and ability to turn around this underperforming school. However, the school board is expecting a full presentation on your turnaround plan before they decide on hiring you. How will you lead change to rectify the major challenges listed above?

You may present your plan in any format that you like (document, PowerPoint, etc.); however, please include the following elements:

• A biography that includes your education, skills and accomplishments
• A mission statement
• Fundraising ideas
• Communication plan (to staff and parents)
• Philosophy on staff development and retention
• Research to support each area (minimum of 6 sources)

This is an opportunity for you to sell yourself as a proactive educational leader who is an agent of change. The board needs to know why you are the best candidate for this school, and here is your chance.

 

Here are some references I would like you to use, but you may use more if needed: This paper MUST BE no less than fifteen pages. I have attached what I have so far.
