Summary of Video: Principal Supervision and Distance Learning: What’s the Right Approach?

This brief summarizes the video, Principal Supervision and Distance Learning: What’s the Right Approach? Nancy Gutierrez, President and CEO of the NYC Leadership Academy, moderates a discussion with Meredith Honig, professor at the University of Washington and Director of the University’s District Leadership Design Lab. Honig’s research focuses on the integral role a school district’s central office can play in developing equity-focused leaders. Honig asserts that central offices are a key part of the educational system and thus essential to a district’s efforts to ensure educational equity. These efforts have assumed even more importance as traditionally underserved African-American and Latinx students have become the most disadvantaged by the academic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
