Student Centeredness
Student-centeredness is a key principle for effective school leadership. School principals should foster a learning environment that meets the diverse needs of all students, both academically and personally. Student-centered principals should communicate high expectations for student achievement and behavior, while also providing support and guidance to help students reach their goals. They should also promote a culture of mutual respect among staff and students, where everyone feels valued and appreciated.
Student Centeredness is a dimension in the Culture Domain under the School Leader Paradigm.

Conflict Resolution: A crucial professional competency in education today
Based on the work of mediation experts, experts in negotiation, and experts in conflict resolution, the techniques presented here are time-tested, simple, and familiar. Takeaways will include a teacher-friendly hand-out (easily printable for quick reference) in a table format. This table lists each clinically tested technique used by experts in the mediation field to de-escalate conflicts. In addition, alongside each technique are language samples to use as models when struggling to find the right words to use when emotions are running high combined with “do’s” vs.“don'ts” that can help or hurt the outcomes. Taken from 30 years of experience in education, high stakes decision making, IEP meetings, and policy discussions, Gwen draws from her background working with parents and educators to give relevant examples of the complex emotions we feel when stakes are high, perceptions and beliefs differ and difficult decisions must be made.
