Among quality measurement systems, there is no clear description of how administrators are expected to move through the process.

Spence, Jo-Ann – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2004
The first and perhaps most important thing for a director to remember is that THINGS WILL HAPPEN! The mix of parents, teachers, children, regulations, building problems, and so on is so complex and filled with so many elements out of control that things happening--good and/or bad--is a given. In this article, the author shares some skills from…
