Watch The Principal Story on PBS, September 15 at 10 PM. POV is PBS’s award-winning nonfiction film series.
Interested in public school reform? Want to engage attendees at a training or workshop? Looking for an exciting new way to get parents talking about school involvement?
Check out The Principal Story and take an inside look at the challenges facing America's public schools — and the great difference a dedicated principal can make. Tresa Dunbar is a second-year principal at Chicago's Nash Elementary, where 98% of students come from low-income families; in Springfield, Illinois, Kerry Purcell has led Harvard Park Elementary, with similar demographics, for six years. With funding from The Wallace Foundation, The Principal Story takes the viewer along for an emotional ride that reveals what effective educational leadership looks like in the 21st century.
