Juggling the Pieces: New Year Orientation Best Practices | Inside the Principal’s Office

A new school year is upon us, and leaders are busy creating orientation schedules that reflect and emphasize school-wide goals, priorities, and initiatives. What are some strategies that have been useful to find a good balance between school-wide initiatives, planning time, and setting a positive tone for the school year?

This episode is lead by co-hosts Michael McWilliams (Educational Consultant, Solution Tree) and Charles Williams (Assistant Principal, Michele Clark High School) and accompanied by special guests James Worland (Head of Secondary, The International School @ ParkCity Hanoi) and Dawn Harris (Gifted & Talented Educator, Author).
