- Typical frontline advocates are in the library daily…volunteers, media techs, student workers, teachers, aids, clerks, etc.Principals are assumed to be other placesPoint of presentation is to reconsider current relationship with principal regardless of your position or in light of your position and how to strengthen itI will consider myself successful if you can walk away today with a few concrete actions you can take that are practical for who you are and who your principal is
- No matter what level or what job, we always work with peopleI have found this to be the key in every job, but especially as a librarianIntroduce myself and tell NatelleK storyTurn to a partner and introduce yourself and share one challenge you experience in developing or maintaining a strong relationship with your principal.Positive relationships can play out in a multitude of waysFuture jobsMore appreciation for role of library/You can impact kids and families for life!
