Description

In the past, the principal or headmaster of a UK private school often became the owner of a school or family member who had a family, and that position has often remained in the family for generations.

In Scotland, holders of this position are sometimes known as "rectors", most often in independent schools. In North America, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Ireland (including Northern Ireland), position holders are usually known as "principals", but some schools, especially independent schools, use "principal" or "teacher head. in Scotland, the term "rector" is still used in the United States in independent religious schools, because according to the Principal's tradition is also a priest.Some American state schools, such as Boston Latin School, Brooklyn Latin School, and Milpitas High School, also use the term "principal", either because of its history or historical connection.

In the United Kingdom, the term "headmaster" and "principal" used to be a formal title in most public schools and private schools, with "head teacher" only used as a term to refer them collectively. However, in recent years, most public schools have switched to gender-neutral "teacher heads" as the official title. However, gender-specific terms are still commonly used and are still official titles in some of the remaining state grammar schools and most private schools. Some use other terms, such as "high master". In South Africa, independent schools and, for the majority, public schools use the term "principal" and "principal" gender-specific when speaking to their principal.

"Principal" or "Principal" is often used as a headmaster's degree from primary, high school, or high school or boarding school in some English-speaking countries, including the United States, India, Australia and New Zealand. Public schools in the United States generally use the title "major" while private schools in the United States sometimes use a Principal's degree.

Roles

While some head teachers still do some teaching on their own, in most larger schools most of their tasks are managerial and pastoral. They are often used to discipline naughty students, help organize school-sponsored activities, and all teachers in school reports to the principal.

In Australia, the teacher's head is sometimes responsible for one (in the case of the main subject) or some (often in smaller schools) certain departments, such as English, History, Math, Science, Writing, Technology, etc., full teaching task and status. They are considered part of the school's executive, and often the head teacher position is a stepping-stone into administration.

Assistant

In larger schools, the principal is assisted by one or more "vice principals", "assistant headmaster", "principal of the association", or "vice principal". Their position is secondary to the principal regarding school governance. The assistant principal generally performs certain tasks such as dealing with student discipline, curriculum, student council or student activities while principals have primary responsibility for the school as a whole (including faculty and staff, physical, etc.).

Regional information

Australia and New Zealand

In many Australian and New Zealand schools, a principal/principal is the principal designated for his position by the school board, supervisor, or other body. Principals, often in contact with school boards, make executive decisions that govern schools, and have authority over work (and in some cases dismissal) of teachers. Principals often become the main discipline of students.

United States

In 1999, there were about 133,000 principals and assistant principals in the United States. In the early decades of public education, the full title is "master teacher", responsible for the current title which has an adjective form, which is basically the preferred version of the original full title. But the term headmaster and principal is still used in some older schools. Principals in the United States are expected to have a school administrator's permission, and, often, a master's degree in educational administration.

Impact of school leader

Although there are many anecdotal discussions about the importance of school leaders, there is little systematic research on their impact on student outcomes. Recent analysis in the United States has examined how gains in student achievement in schools change after the principle change. The results-based approach to measuring principal effectiveness is very similar to the value-added modeling that has been applied to teacher evaluation. Such research in the state of Texas found that principals had a huge impact on student achievement. Effective school leaders have been shown to significantly improve the performance of all students in school, at least in part through their impact on good teacher selection and retention. Ineffective principals have an equally negative effect on school performance, suggesting that evaluation issues are just as important for school administrators as for teachers. The impact of the perpetrators has also been measured in non-traditional ways. Some principals have focused their efforts on creating more inclusive schools for students with disabilities.
