A successful school needs more than a great principal. It needs a system designed to help that principal excel. Harrison Peters and Steve Gering, co-founders of MCEL - Men of Color in Educational Leadership make the case for why principal supervisors are essential and how districts can build an effective support system for principals and students to thrive. https://bit.ly/3SW2UXm
