The Principals Project
Overview
The "Principal's Project," an OSEP-funded initiative spearheaded by Christine Salisbury, the National Institute's Chicago Site Liaison, and Anne Smith, the National Institute's Project Officer, has completed its work and its 'lessons learned' can be found below. The "Principal's Project" supported principals from Maine, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Colorado to engage in reflective practice and action research to inform their building level-school activities.
Building Level Indicators of Effective Practice and The Reflective Principal were informed by these principals as they actively worked to create inclusive learning communities, responsive to the learning styles and needs of a full array of students, including those with disabilities.
