<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Find the career assigned to your table group. As a group, identify the leadership skills needed by leaders in your assigned career area. Write each skill on a strip of colored paper.



<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Using the Venn Diagram model, place skills unique to principals in one circle, skills unique to your other career area in the other circle, and those that are common to both in the crossover area.

Who is in command? How do you figure out who does what? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Take a tour of some of the BISD school websites and see if you can figure out who is in charge. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">What do administrator's make? Is there a difference between an elementary principal's salary and a middle school principal's salary? If so, why? What does a superintendent make? In table pairs, research the school district you have been assigned to find the salaries of their top adminstrators. Why is there such a difference among districts?

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Read //**Education Secretary Arne Duncan Says Merit Pay Should Be Tied to Student Growth**//. Jot key points on a notecard as you read. You will use these to debate the pros and cons of the Education Secretary's proposal. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
