Episode Synopsis

The transition from teacher or senior school leader to tumuaki is more than just a title change – it's a professional and personal transformation. This episode talks about the transition into principalship, the differences between senior leadership and principalship, and ERO research into pathways new principals take, and their sense of preparedness for the role.
My guests are:

Jacqui Brown, principal of New Plymouth Girls’ High School
Prisca MacDonald, tumuaki of Tawa Intermediate School
Elena Moretti, Director Engagement and Impact, ERO
