How effectively does school leadership communicate important information (e.g., policies, updates, goals) to teachers?

How well does school leadership support teachers' professional growth through resources, training, and opportunities?

How approachable are school leaders when teachers need guidance or have concerns?

How clear and effective is the vision and direction set by school leadership for the school’s growth and development?

How well does school leadership recognize and appreciate the efforts and contributions of teachers?

How well does school leadership empower teachers by giving them autonomy and involving them in decision-making?

How effectively does school leadership support teachers in addressing the diverse academic and emotional needs of students?

Overall, how satisfied are you with the leadership and management at your school?

What do you appreciate most about the leadership’s approach to supporting teachers and fostering a positive school environment?

She’s very friendly and seems to genuinely care about the students. You can tell she wants the best for them and tries to create a good environment for the younger grades. When she’s focused, she does try to help and support teachers where she can.

What improvements, if any, would you suggest to enhance the support or effectiveness of school leadership?

At times, it feels like the position might be a bit over her head. She can come off a bit airheaded or unsure when decisions need to be made. I think she could have benefited from spending more time as a teacher first before stepping into leadership. Also, sometimes she seems to push people away without realizing it, which can make working with her a bit frustrating. More consistency and openness with the team would really help.
