. All About Rate My Principal.
A school Principal, and your working relationship with them, can make or break the international teaching experience? After all, it's the principal you interact with on a daily basis. There are outstanding Principals who have gone unnoticed, and until now, many notoriously poor Principals have slipped under the radar, while the Head/Director receives the majority, if not all, the blame. Rate My Principal is yet another tool to help you make an even more informed decision for your next career move.

Principal's level of responsibility

School has 2 or more Principals. This is my division Principal
1. Management style
 
Nancy is the best principal I have ever worked for. She is a fireball of energy, yet always manages to have an aura of calm around her. Nancy is excellent at motivating others and she relies on the teaching staff to assist her in many ways. The elementary school has Learning Leaders that meet with Nancy every two weeks to discuss school initiatives and ways to improve the education that the school provides, and Nancy is extremely enthusiastic about the work that comes from this team.
2. Academic & disciplinary support
  
Nancy is phenomenal at conducting meetings with "difficult" parents. She is able, and unafraid, to directly and professionally approach parents with tough issues such as academic or behavioral difficulties that their children might be having. Providing a very high quality education is of utmost importance, and there is no pressure to fudge grades. Nancy also works very hard to ensure that communication and cooperation among staff members is very smooth; however, from time to time she does seem to favor certain staff members over others and appears to allow some into an "inner circle" of administrative information. Overall though, teachers agree that working for Nancy is nothing short of a pleasure!
  
3. Hiring Process
Yes, Nancy is involved in the hiring process, as are the other principals and the school director. I interviewed with her only in a secondary fashion, as my initial and primary interview happened to be with a different principal. Nancy is extremely personable and instantly puts people at ease, yet it is clear that she is taking in every single thing that is said or done around her. I would absolutely recommend that other teachers work with Nancy, but only if they are unafraid of working hard and being held to very high expectations.
3. Additional Comments
Nancy is the kind of principal that I would follow to another school just to be able to continue working with her!
