Leadership Support Kit

We believe that meaningful school change takes a great deal of time, support, and leadership. At the forefront of any change is the principal who has the presence and power to establish priorities, model values, and set the vision and expectations for faculty, parents, and students. The Leadership Support Kit provides the tools and support for effective leadership and program implementation.
