Female Principal Question: Download Female Principal PDF
Tell us what do you think, Should the assistant principal work independently, or should they follow a strong line of hierarchy with the school principal?
Answer:
Another tricky question, especially if the school principal sits in the hiring committee… Nevertheless, assistant principals should have some degree of independence, and they should have a power to make decisions (at least at their level of leadership).
You can tell the committee that you are ready to work independently, but at the same time understand the importance of teamwork, and unity of school leaders, and hope to meet the school principal on a regular basis, to consult your ideas and decisions you plan to make.
