This is an awesome article. It needs to be sent to every principal in every state.
It is always helpful to see what others are doing in their schools. Does every practice work for every school? No. But having a bank of ideas to pull from is a start.
This school could be a model for every school. The idea of building and supporting the teachers is the key. I think it is wonderful that the community has taken a front seat approach to help their school become the best.
Teachers need time to plan, regroup, and collaborate with other teachers.
I applaud the principal for taking the first step in treating her teachers as professionals.
