3. Educational
Philosophy
The teacher must be the
primary client of the
school-based administrator,
whereas the districts primary
client and the teacher’s
primary client is the student.
The only way an administrator
is going to affect higher
student achievement is
through the teacher and his or
her actions in the classroom.
