School Principal Jobs in Oregon

A Principal plays a critical role in school administration as they are responsible for the overall management and operation of the school. They create and implement educational policies, manage school staff including teachers and non-teaching personnel, and ensure the school's curriculum and activities adhere to national and local standards. Principals also have the obligation to monitor student progress, conduct teacher evaluations, maintain a safe and conducive learning environment, and communicate with parents and community members. They also oversee the school's budget and make sure resources are allocated properly.

To perform these duties successfully, School Principals should have leadership and decision-making skills, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strategic planning, and problem-solving abilities. They must also demonstrate a solid understanding of curriculum development, education laws, and regulations. A master's degree in education administration or leadership, and licensure from a state board of education are typical requirements for this role. Certifications like National Certified School Principal (NCSP) or Professional Principal's Certificate could be beneficial. Prior to becoming a School Principal, an individual may begin as a teacher, then progress to roles such as Assistant Principal, Department Head, or School Administrator.
