ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode, Jenn David-Lang sits down with renowned educator and turnaround Principal Kafele to discuss his latest—and most personally significant—book: "What Is My Value Instructionally to the Teachers I Supervise?"
This conversation zeroes in on the principal's role as an instructional leader. Principal Kafele makes it clear that the core focus of his message—and his latest book—is on how and why principals themselves must strengthen and own their role as instructional leaders.
What You'll Learn:
• Why the principal must lead instructionally
• How self-reflection can transform your leadership practice
• The 4 levels of reflection: Self-Reflection, Self-Assessment, Self-Adjustment, Self-Improvement
• How your school culture either enables or prevents instructional leadership
• Why now—at the end of the school year—is the best time to reflect deeply on your role as instructional leader
This episode is a powerful call to action for principals to ask the right questions, assess their impact, and return with greater clarity and purpose next year.
