As a principal, you have the privilege of leading a school and making a positive difference in the lives of countless students. You have the power to create an environment of education, respect, and integrity. You are also responsible for ensuring that your students receive the best possible education and that their educational and social outcomes are improved through your leadership. Leading with integrity and improving student outcomes is a task that requires dedication, hard work, and a willingness to be open-minded and creative.

The following are 10 strategies for new principals to lead with integrity and improve student outcomes:

1. Establish a Vision: Establishing a clear school vision is the first and most important step for a new principal to lead with integrity and improve student outcomes. This vision should be based on the core principles of integrity, respect, and excellence and should be shared with your school staff, students, and parents. This vision will guide the school and should serve as a rallying point for everyone to strive towards.

2. Build an Inclusive School Community: Creating an inclusive school community is essential for improving student outcomes. This means creating an environment where all students are respected, celebrated, and included, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or any other social identity. This involves actively creating a safe and welcoming environment, such as encouraging open communication and dialogue among staff, students, and parents.
