A3. The principal is the primary resource for teachers to lean on for guidance. Mental health is just a concern with our students and I think principals need to make this a strategic priority in their budgeting and in their training. #MSUM640
A1. Management involves power usually formal authority. Leadership is the exercise of authority in directing and coordinating the work of others. I think faculty members showed leadership during the COVID 19 crisis. #MSUM640
