Part 12 | Educational Leadership Series – The Way Bahamas
Effective school leadership is more than management—it’s transformation. Principal Anderson’s two-pronged strategy reminds us that empowering teachers and deepening student learning are inseparable goals in any 21st-century school.
Meet Principal Anderson: A Vision for Whole-Person Leadership
At the heart of every thriving school is a principal who leads with both strategy and soul. Principal Anderson, a seasoned leader, believes that sustainable school growth requires focusing on two essentials:
1️⃣ Professional development for educators, and
2️⃣ An intentional, data-informed approach to student learning.
In Anderson’s own words (2012), “You cannot separate the principal from the inner workings of the organization.” For her, leadership is relational—shaped by collaboration, reflection, and the courage to unlearn outdated systems.
