 * // Standard 4: Human Resources Leadership //**
 * //School leader should be an advocate for teachers and other professional staff. School leaders should embrace and promote professional learning teams within their schools and protect the valuable planning and teaching time teacher need in order to prepare for the students. Leaders must support the teachers with the daily operations of a school environment, and perform routine observations of the staff in order to provide effective feedback to assist in improving their teaching practices. Leaders must also open the eyes of their staff to all possible career paths based of these observations.//**
