People often say, Schools need to improve!
Well, what does that mean? Does the actual school need to improve ... like the building, parking lot, sprinkler system? What needs improvement?
Test scores, someone screams. Teachers, another one shouts. Students, they need to dress better, a third bellows.
It is possible all of the above could use some sort of improvement. The aesthetics of a building need to be kept up or the pride in the facility will leave. It is also fait to look at test scores to find gaps within curriculum or to measure achievement standards. And yes, I do believe students should look presentable at school (my opinion :) ). But what about leadership ... where do they come in? And what could they do?
Hopefully, that’s what we are here for. Welcome to "The Bridge." The Bridge will be used to try and connect authentic leadership and education together in order to create a forum for leaders to express themselves -- their frustrations and their victories. I will share what I believe will and can work, no matter the setting, from public to charter to private. The first sentence is right, schools do need to improve, but that begins and ends with the leadership.
