Operationalizing Elementary Principal Leadership

In this episode, Bob talks with Dr. Tyrone Brookins, the assistant superintendent of South Washington County Schools. They discuss how the creation of a TOSA Dean position at the elementary level is way to attempt better support and create an administrative pipeline. Dr. Brookins shares how this role was created through repurposing 11 positions and creates the opportunity for principals to better focus on new math and social studies standards, manage changing demographics in schools, and improve student proficiency on state tests. The goal is for all principals to have a clear framework for instructional leadership and for the district to see increased student learning.
