Elementary Principal on School Reform

Elementary Principal: “I had teachers report on particular kids who who they feel have really taken off with it. I think teachers are very enthusiastic about what they’re learning and they’re not just taking the information in, they’re actually using it. And the program has a component that involves parents and so this is a circle that’s ever widening. The change in me is just a renewed hope. We can broaden it because every school has people that they would like to have improve and the work that they’re doing. I think when kids feel really in engaged, involved, they’ll produce they’ll be creative. The organization of the classroom for example: What kind of rules will we have? Kids will have something to say about that. How will we handle situations that come up? Kids will have something to say about that, and I think teachers will laugh all the way to the bank.”
