Decisions, Decisions....

School leaders are regularly faced with critical decisions.  Principals are often challenged to respond with action to improve student achievement, follow directives from the central office,  support faculty and staff, advocate for students and comply with state law and/or department of education mandates.  Give an example of a similar decision making situation with which you are familiar and discuss how it was addressed within your school.  Please refer to a decision making model from our studies and evaluate its effectiveness for situation referenced.
