In far too many schools across the U.S. – particularly inner-city urban schools, the assistant principals are relegated to the role of “disciplinarian” or “Dean of Students.” They spend entire school days disciplining and suspending instead of leading and inspiring as instructional leaders must do. Based on Principal Kafele's forthcoming book, The ASSISTANT Principal 50 (May, 2020), this high-energy, highly interactive session asks assistant principals the overarching question, "What is my value to my school as an assistant principal?" It will provide assistant principals with the information they need in order to function as true school leaders. Principal Kafele contends that far too many assistant principals are ill-prepared to one day step into the role of the principalship because they simply have not been exposed to functioning as principals in general and instructional leaders in particular. This session will provide assistant principals with the “tools” they need in order to approach their current positions beyond disciplinarians and cafeteria duty. They will be better prepared to assist the principal in all aspects of school leadership while simultaneously preparing themselves for a principal leadership position in the future.
