PrincipalsCreate, encourage and model a culture that promotes your school staff and the classroom. The Digital Revolution As the school leader, principals must assist all staff with integrating technology into their teaching to be used as both a professional and instructional tool. This task requires the principal to create an evirnonment where the importance of technology as an instructional tool becomes a shared vision. They must also lead through example and provide the necessary staff support for alleviating stress, which so often accompanies change. Being a principal in the 21st Century classroom requires a balanced combination of flexibility and leadership. Leading the Leaders Effectively Effective principals understand what good teaching is and are knowledgeable about current curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices. But they are also involved in the design and implementation of the technology in their schools. The Version3 product suite supports principals by fully connecting principals with stakeholders - students, teachers and parents. The Version3 Education Portal provides principals with a view of 'their world" via the Principal Console Services. Principals are provided tools to make announcements, schedule events, utilize secure email, create cross collaborative workspaces, access system-wide documents and resources as well as publish policy, compliancy and HR documents - making the job easier to manage. Leaving No Child Behind Principals know it is critical to be up to date on best practices in instruction and assessment, and seek out opportunities to learn more about good teaching . Not only do effective principals understand what good teaching is, they also recognize that their primary goal is to improve the effectiveness of their teachers. The Version3 Education Portal gives you an eye on the classroom - The Principal Console provides a SharePoint site for every class. Class sites are integrated into the assignment engine, the announcement system and the student planner. Class sites are also automatically provisioned, deprovisioned and archived based on their principals' approval status. Principals can see what teachers are teaching and ensure that school standards are being met. |
