Recently, a colleague supporting Moodle at the District level posed this campus-based situation regarding principal’s perspective on changing content in the Moodle. Is this a nosy principal or a hands-on instructional leader?

How would you have responded?

Problem:

A teacher asked me during Moodle Training: What if my principal requests access to my moodle course in order to make some changes to it? 

My reflections:

1) I would approach the principal and ask, “What is it in my course that you think needs changing?” then see what the response is. Remember, a Moodle course can be perceived as the same as a face to face course, so would a principal come in and make an adjustment to instructional materials in the teacher’s classroom without a discussion about why? This is poor leadership unless it’s built into the culture and if the teacher is asking, it’s not.
