What will the new Principals do differently than the old/fired ones?


I have sat quietly by while Detroit praises its new crop of principals.
Many were made to retire and in comes a new crop. The AYP was published for all schools today in the Detroit News. It was not pretty.

Questions for the new principals...

1. What will you do differently than the old ones, with the new evaluation form and the tremendous amount of pressure you will have to achieve.

2. Do you think the staff will welcome you with open arms? How will you win their support?

3. We will all be anxious to see what a fantastic job they will do especially at our one jewel of a high school. The AP that was slated for the job would have done a fantastic job. She knew the staff and the culture. It is not an easy building to run.

Good luck everyone.

Any other DPS employees, please chime in.
