Principal For A Day/Teacher For A Day

Principal For A Day /Teacher For A Day invites business and community leaders into our urban schools in an effort to give local leaders and policy-makers the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a Toledo Public School principal or teacher.

The purpose of the program is to be a vehicle through which our business,
government, spiritual and social service leaders can learn about the schools in order to serve as advocates for educational reform and community involvement in our schools.
As a result of their experience in the program, many participants have taken action by spearheading initiatives for new business and community involvement in our neediest schools.

Principal For A Day /Teacher For A Day is a partnership between Partners In Education of Toledo and Toledo Public Schools.
