Empowered Educator: Leadership in Motion | Educational Leadership, Educational Administration, Educational Leadership Careers, Career Transition

Today, I interviewed Christopher Jones, a high school principal, discussing his approach to leadership and building a supportive culture. Chris emphasized teacher empowerment and engagement as key to student success. He described fostering a sense of belonging through gratitude in faculty meetings and activities like defining and sharing personal "whys." We also discussed creating a vision of the graduate and measuring progress toward it. Chris highlighted the importance of recognizing the human side of educators, especially during challenging times like the pandemic.
Dr. Chris Jones is a seasoned educator from Massachusetts with an impressive 23 years in the field. For the past 14 years, he's been rocking it as a building administrator and currently wears the hats of President-Elect at the Massachusetts State Administrators Association (MSAA) and Principal at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School.

But wait, there's more! Chris isn't just about the titles; he's all about making waves in education. As the brains behind "SEEing to Lead," he's authored a book full of strategies for modern leaders to uplift and empower teachers, ultimately boosting student success. And guess what? He's got a podcast by the same name, where he shines the spotlight on teachers' voices, all in the name of bettering education as a whole.

Fueling Chris' fire is his belief in continuous improvement—because success isn't just a destination, it's an ongoing journey. You might have caught him dropping knowledge bombs at various presentations and workshops for esteemed organizations like MSAA, MassCUE, MASCD, ASCD, and NASSP.

And hey, behind every great educator is a supportive family. Chris resides in Southeastern Massachusetts with his wife, Mary (Bella), and their dynamic duo, Tommy and Scotty.
