SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
Developing a School Climate and Culture That
Yield High Academic Performance

Principal Kafele's 50 "I's"
for New and Aspiring Principals
Many new and aspiring principals
develop mindsets and attitudes that in order for them to experience
success in their leadership roles, they must first and foremost be
strong disciplinarians. Although discipline is important, in order
for a principal to truly evolve into an effective school leader,
he/she must function as the instructional leader of the school. In

Kafele engages new and aspiring principals in discussion towards
developing a mindset that the achievement of their students is
directly tied to their effectiveness in leading their schools
instructionally.
