Always Be Ready: An Education Leadership Story

Описание: Research points to several behaviors and practices to help develop strong school leaders. This leader's story shows why that matters.

As a child, Timisha Barnes-Jones scored her dream role working with Oprah, Whoopie and Quincy in "The Color Purple." Now as the chief of schools in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County in North Carolina, she encourages all of the students and adults she works with to dream bigger dreams.

Barnes-Jones and her district are part of a nationwide effort to help establish "principal pipelines." These pipelines provide a set of comprehensive and aligned actions to help guide the hiring, development, and support of school leaders. At heart, pipelines are about people.

This is the story of one leader in one pipeline. It's also the story of the hundreds upon hundreds of students that benefit from having strong leadership in schools.
