Jeffco principals are responsible for the collective success of their schools, including the learning, growth and achievement of both students and staff. As the schools’ primary instructional leader, our principals enable critical conversations and data-driven reflection about curriculum, assessment, instruction, and student progress, and create structures to facilitate improvement.
Jeffco principals should be skilled at maximizing the utilization
of resources and human capital, fostering collaboration and facilitating
constructive change. By creating a common vision and articulating shared
values, our principals lead and manage their schools in a manner that supports
schools’ ability to promote equity and to continually improve their positive
student achievement.
