Educational leadership is the work of running schools and districts: setting direction, managing budgets and staff, answering to school boards and communities, and making decisions that reach every classroom. Superintendents, principals, district administrators and board members carry it, often under public pressure and with less money than the work requires.
edCircuit's edLeaders section is written for them. It covers how school board meetings shape districts and why boards face more pressure than ever, how budget cuts change the classroom experience, how leaders communicate with families and handle the media, and how federal and state policy changes reach local schools. For the policy picture itself, see Education Policy and Government and Department of Education.
