The Founder
In 1994, Linda traveled to the USA to study school leadership and was impressed by the effort that went into translating the vast amount of education research into useful material for Principals’ and schools. With this in mind, she decided to research and write her own informative material, and what started as a contribution to the then newly formed national principals’ association in New Zealand, became a full-time job and became known as The Principals’ Digest.
“When I started writing Principals’ Digests, lots of colleagues told me this was just what they had been looking for – lively, fresh and instantly useful Digests for those many occasions when the Principal is called on to speak or write to the school community.” – Linda Braun
