  • success in communicating with parents to provide timely and appropriate feedback regarding student progress;

  • the ability to consistently exercise discretion and good judgment;

  • the leadership qualities to inspire, motivate, and develop students;

  • the ability to nurture a deep feeling of community through actions and attitudes;
