Four Vital Questions for Teachers and Principals

Each workday for a teacher, a principal, or any other educator who works at a school includes a non-stop pace of activities, responsibilities, and just plain work. The workday begins long before the first student arrives and continues long after the last student leaves for the day, often completed at night and on weekends. In this continually accelerating pace of work and steadily expanding list of demands placed on schools, it is important for educators to pause occasionally and think, reflect, analyze, and think again. How is that done efficiently and effectively? By reading "Four Vital Questions for Teachers and Principals." This interactive book takes educators on an individualized tour of the work they do each day at school with an emphasis on what matters most and what works best.
