A Sociological Look at School Administration

Education Rx by Hollye Bronson and Shannon Donnaway

Episode notes
Dr. Michael Allen joins Hollye and Shannon to discuss school-based administration (aka principals). We talk about why students are going to the office and returning in minutes. Dr. Allen talks about observations and feedback. What is impairing principals from being present and tuned in? How do principals tap into the expertise of teachers and certified staff, create strong team dynamics, and elevate the workflow in their buildings? Dr. Allen's first degree was in sociology, and he uses this lens to shed light on why many schools are experiencing breakdowns and ways to heal them.Check out his book at https://brotherlylovebook.com/
