What sets strong instructional leaders apart from those just managing the day-to-day? In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, you’ll learn five key traits that help principals lead learning, not just logistics.

You’ll discover:

  • Why great leaders see themselves as lifelong learners and model that for their staff
  • How to protect time for instructional leadership—even when the day gets chaotic
  • Ways to use evaluations, PD, and data as tools for genuine teacher growth
  • How to clearly communicate beliefs about teaching and learning so your vision sticks

If you’ve ever felt pulled away from instructional priorities by constant fires, this episode will help you refocus on what matters most—growing teachers, improving learning, and leading with purpose.
