Jason McLaughlin Post #2 Aha
One other thing that struck me this weekend is how much information a principal needs to know. Every class that I take it seems that I find another area of knowledge that I have a lot to learn. This weekend I saw that hiring is a process that you better have a specific plan to accomplish the task. (including the procedures you will use, the questions, who will do the interviewing, when you call references, when to call and notify candidates that you do not want, etc...) I am thinking that for each of these principal tasks I am going to create a document with the procedures that I will follow that I can refer to and change as I learn what works and what doesn't. Is it common to have a document for each area/task a principal is responsible for?
