My name is Tom Stobie. Research continues to show that the role of the principal in schools is critical.
Good schools have good principals.
As in the congress or any body where people are served, the leader sets the tone for the organization. This is never more true than in the principalship. Raising student achievement should be the number one goal of all schools. In order to do that, a number of areas of support are necessary. I will be pointing those out today from the view point of the principal.
