Higbee-2nd Sunday

I'm sure all of us can think of at least one example where a colleague has inspired us through example to "up our game" and become better teachers. From a principal's perspective, I would want at least one teacher in each subject area that would serve as a peer leader for others in their core subject. As far as incorporating an incentive system to reward these "top-notch teachers" would be a difficult and controversial program to set up and maintain. There would be way to much criteria to take into account.
Of the Essential Functions of a Principal, I really don't believe there can be anything lacking in order for the principal to be the true leader of their respective building. This, of course, is a difficult proposition since as noted in class today that many of our own principals aren't 100% proficient with all of these functions.
