As a principal on this project I or anyone who were to undertake one similarly should have a thorough knowledge of the school improvement process. In addition, he or she should know the state and local expectations in the core curricular areas including such things as grade level content expectations. The principal should be schooled in the process of action research and stay abreast of the latest educational theories about teaching and learning such as differentiated learning and collaborative planning. Finally, the principal should be expert at using all types of technology, at ease with modeling its use and actively seeking opportunities to incorporate it into this plan.
As to the skills, this plan would require a skilled consensus builder, exceptional speaker and writer, and a visionary.

Further, "the approach assumes that one needs to understand the larger context -- person, interpersonal, group, and external situation -- in order to understand the patterns of behavior and to influence them successfully." With SYMLOG, measurement procedures are
