Listen "Episode 16: Pause to Ponder - Principal Permissions"
Episode Synopsis
Despite being told that it's not always necessary to ask for permission, I often found myself granting permissions for what I thought was clearly established expectations. For that reason, I decided to begin our school year with my five Principal Permissions.
1. Permission to learn and grow.
2. Permission to take risks.
3. Permission to fail.
4. Permission to love.
5. Permission to have fun.
It was my hope that these permissions would clarify any misunderstanding that I believed in the expertise of my staff and that I wanted them to be the amazing educators that I knew that they could be. I did not want them to feel as if they were constrained by policies and politics.
They have taken full advantage of these permissions and have produced some amazing results.
