Introduction
The Principal and the IEW will have different strengths and abilities
that stem from their different life experiences and perspectives. This
difference in experience and perspective will strengthen your partnership
and benefit a broad range of students. A partnership based on respect
will embrace these differences and use them to their advantage.

The following activities have been designed to
assist with the improvement of your partnership. These activities have
been developed in consultation with over 200 school Principals and
IEWs from around Australia. We hope that you, like those 200, find
them useful and worthwhile.
