This is a brief episode that gives you an overview of the four part series in my podcast series focused on my Dissertation Research Project.

The focus of my DRP is - From Isolation to Virtual Support: Reducing Professional Isolation in Christian School Principals and Building a Sense of Community

Episode #1

From Isolation to Virtual Support: Reducing Professional Isolation in Christian School Principals and Building a Sense of Community

Many principals within Christian Schools International (CSI) are seeking connection and community on both a personal and professional level. I believe they are searching for connections within and outside of their own school system. My study is attempting to identify those needs and provide concrete solutions that will benefit those principals as well as CSI.

Episode #2

From Isolation to Virtual Support: Reducing Professional Isolation in Christian School Principals and Building a Sense of Community

Research Questions / Guiding questions below.

• How do CSI member school principals perceive their sense of connection with other principals?

• What kinds of support networks and resources are CSI principals currently accessing to further their learning and effectiveness?

• Are CSI member school principals connected to professional learning networks consisting of other Christian school principals?

• Are CSI member school principals considering leaving their position due to a sense of isolation or lack of support?

• What are some obstacles that inhibit or limit a principal from accessing needed supports?

• What offerings and partnerships might CSI provide that would increase a principal’s sense of community?
