Aim
To investigate the potential of the role of the teaching principal
To identify practices that can lead to fulfillment in the role
![Page 3: Teaching Principalship Towards Effective Practices.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2b5503460f94c46246/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Background to Workshop8 years practices as a teaching principal
13 years experience of working in small schools
Research into leading learning in small schools
6 years working in leadership development

Rationale
Good management and good teaching are uniquely combined in the role of the small school head so that his or her influence is a more than usually important factor in determining the quality of the school. (Southworth, 2004:16)
Where the head is effective in both the teaching and the management roles, a virtuous circle of benefits accrues to the school. (Southworth, 2004:16)

Asking the Right Questions
Questions set the agenda
Questions can lead to fundamental change
They form a basis for planning and action

Some of the Big Questions
Why is there educational underachievement in the border counties?How do we need to reshape educational services in this area over the next 10 years?Why do we have too many children in need of literacy support?
![Page 10: Teaching Principalship Towards Effective Practices.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2b5503460f94c46246/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
More penetrating questions
How can I communicate properly with you as a staff?What can science week mean in this school?
