The Beginning Days of School Program for New Principals

Designer: Sister Marita Kathryn Barber, IHM

The objective of this teaching tool is to provide a resource for either newly appointed, first year principals or for those principals new to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia as a way to help alleviate some of the anxiety that is unique to those beginning days of school. The target population of this resource will be knowledgeable in the operations of a school, but not necessarily in all of the nuances that are specific to those operations.

Target Population

Newly appointed, first year principals or those principals new to this school system

Curricular Goals

The curricular goals are guided by the Policies and Procedures Handbook of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia as they apply to the beginning days of school. The content of this handbook covers every aspect of school operations so the intent of this resource is to provide the new administrator with the familiarity to the necessary documents and requirements for the opening of school.

Teaching & Learning Theory

The theory that is guiding this project is the constructivist model.
