11 Managing school resources
Managing school resources should be in line with the developed mission and vision of the school. Alignment within ensures good stewardship of community resources. I have evaluated a school budget and ESSER plan to analyze.
12 Student safety
Procedures that will protect the welfare of students include arrival and dismissal, student sign-out, emergency preparedness drills including shelter in place, lockdown, fire, and tornado. Additional procedures are securing student data and information and ensuring only people who have a legal right and need to know can access student information. Policies and expectations around bullying, violence, and illicit substances should be clear and seek to keep everyone safe. Further, the school should ensure that proper naming and pronouns are used for all students to create a safe learning environment.
14 family engagement
As an administrator, I understand that every day our families send us their best and most precious children. I count it an honor, every day to welcome these students. It is my belief that parents are our esteemed partners in education- and we should seek to learn from them and build community among their wealth of knowledge. I have recently supported a school in increasing family engagement by starting a Family Ambassadors Program to welcome new families to the community and ensure that all grown-ups feel connected to their child's school.
