My First Semester

Sigh...it's been challenging. It's not even my class that is the stress giver. It's the leadership. My school isn't the best managed school it could be. My principal wants to be an A school so bad that she is copying everything from A schools except their leadership habits, which is what she should be looking at. Every school and its staff and family demographics are different. You can't just snatch up something that one school did, dont take the time to tailor it to your population and just push people to use it.

Also, we haven't met AYP (annual yearly progress) for the past 5 years. Our school letter grade dropped from last year. We've become a focus school for the district and state, who have been doing visits. We got good feedback but we have to wait and see if we meet the goals at the end of the year. If we do, great; no changes to our school. If we don't, we get restructured and the district or state guts out our school and rehires positions.

I almost want it to be restructured so we can get better leadership with proper organization skills. But, I also like most of my co-workers and would hate to see some let go and not offered a position back.

It's a do your best and see what happens situation.

After reading this, I wonder if we work at the same school. I promise this describes my school perfectly!
