Opinion: Expert panel findings are in, but better support for Principals needed

Description

In March, Education Minister Jason Clare announced an expert panel to provide advice on the key targets and specific reforms that should be tied to funding in the next National School Reform Agreement (NSRA). In the context of this panel's recommendations, our national study is asking principals what they identify as critical incidents, and how they deal with them. We’ve collected over 170 stories from principals about how they dealt with challenging issues in their schools and the emotional work behind managing them. Many are confronting, as we outline in The Educator.
