School Leadership. The quality of a school, the quality of teaching and the confidence of parents rest on the competence of the school’s leaders. Leadership comes from two functions of a Harbor School.1) The Board of Directors which is responsible for the governance, policies and strategic direction of the school, as well as the link to the parent community; and 2) The school principal, who carries out the expectations of the Board and insures the quality of the school programs. The ability of a Harbor School to carry out its mission depends heavily upon the strength of its governing board. An effective board provides strategic direction for the school, chooses and nurtures strong school leaders, and ensures the school’s financial and legal soundness. For a charter school to succeed, it must form a board that is committed to the school’s mission, possess substantial leadership skills and expertise, set policy that guides the school’s work, and evaluate both the school and itself with an eye toward continuous improvement. Leadership has a profound effect on the conduct and achievement of students and the adults who contribute to their learning in the school setting. We believe that the principal has a direct accountability for the environment in which teachers teach and students learn. The principal’s primary responsibility in a Harbor School is to support teachers and protect teaching time. This is not merely a function of scheduling or other administrative activities, but of the principal’s presence throughout all student contact areas during school hours. Principals in Harbor Schools are extremely visible to the student population in the classroom, in the hallways, in the lunchroom, and on the playground. They use all of these venues to teach practical aspects of living and how to interact positively with one’s neighbors and community. The principal’s presence in this manner provides daily supervision and support of teachers to ensure instructional fidelity. Parent Participation Harbor Schools depend on the support and engagement of parents. Harbor educators must cultivate strong parental engagement. The school actively works to earn parent trust and confidence to provide a safe and productive learning environment for their children. It is essential that parents are well informed on the elements of the Harbor School MethodTM. All Harbor parents understand that they are their child's first teacher. All parents should have sufficient understanding of the method upon enrollin...
