A. Focus on your new role.

You have four primary areas of focus in the first six weeks of the first year. You need to achieve the following:
1. Establish the face of the school's leadership. (Smile. Show that you are happy to be there, that you are proud of your new school, and that there is nothing the school community can't make happen if they are working together. Be at one with your administrative team.)
2. Establish a professional, personal, working relationship with staff members, students, and parents. (Know your staff by name and position, know what they are proud of and what they are trying to do, identify and get to know your involved parents and students and their wishes for the school.)
3. Understand the strength of the school's programs. (Review the Site Plan, the most recent Accreditation Report, the District Strategic Plan, school and department goals; assessment data; survey results; observe in classrooms; listen carefully for the concerns and issues that are on people's minds; reflect on the most important areas of focus to move the school forward)
4. Build a positive and cohesive administrative team as well as a broader leadership team with understood roles and responsibilities and extended lines of communication.

If these are your focus areas for the first six weeks, then what specific goals could you develop, what specifically do you need to do, to be successful in these focus areas?
