I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful leaders during my teaching career. I currently work with one leader that I admire and am happy to share about. This leader has clear goals, is passionate, and good at communicating. She provides well planned professional development opportunities that are very applicable. She frequently makes observations and gives thoughtful feedback that includes how teachers are progressing and gives specific examples of things to work on. This person has an open door and is always ready to listen and share thoughts about the next steps. She is easy to talk to because of her friendly demeanor. She sends out reminders. She follows up with previous conversations. She is passionate about student success. This leader uses research to support her decision making and includes staff members and community members in these decisions. She follows things through until the end. She works hard because she loves her job.
The criteria that I pulled out of your post were that you admire passionate, kind, student centered leaders who follow through.
