How Principals Can Support their Teachers – Podcast Episode 164

Classnotes Podcast (June 6, 2016) We have high expectations for our teachers. IDRA’s Quality Schools Action Framework points to teaching quality as one of the four critical components that must be addressed in any comprehensive school reform effort that will be sustained over time. But teaching quality cannot happen in isolation. The structure of the school, the school leadership and valuing climate also are essential to teaching quality. Former teacher Judith Urdiales describes how her principal, Nilka Avilés, Ed.D., (now an IDRA senior education associate) built a system of support for teachers in their school that resulted in dramatic success for students.

Judith is interviewed Nilka Avilés, Ed.D., an IDRA senior education associate.
