Better Together: A Coordinated Response for Principals and District Leaders. Brief
Bridget Johnson
National Comprehensive Center
It is no secret that successful school leadership starts with the principal. But who is taking care of school principals and ensuring their well-being? A principal's needs must be addressed before they can effectively address the needs of their school community. District leadership must prioritize the needs of principals who in turn, will empower the school-based crisis response teams to address the needs of the school community. The purpose of this brief is to provide readers with a structured approach to manage the social-emotional well-being of the adults in the school building, post COVID-19 closures. The phrase, "better together," has never been truer as school communities embark on the unchartered territory of virtual, hybrid and/or physical re-entry after an extended school closure.
