Airing Sept. 15 on KET1:

PBS turns the spotlight on school principals with a new documentary, “The Principal Story,” and a national outreach project that aims to elevate the visibility of leadership as a lever for school improvement.

On the local level, KET offers a panel discussion with Kentucky experts and an online portal designed for principals and aspiring principals. The “Kentucky Principals, Leading by Example” panel will include Lorraine Williams, principal at Millcreek Elementary and chairwoman of the Kentucky Educational Professional Standards Board.

KET also offers a Web-based repository of resources suitable for principal preparation programs or for school-based professional development workshops.
