Principals Need PD Too
As I have started doing preliminary research for my dissertation I have discovered that high quality, relevant and sustainable Professional Development (PD) opportunities for principals (and building leaders in general) are limited.

Value SUBTRACTED Measures
As New York struggles with implementing value-added measures for the purpose of teacher and principal evaluation - New York and other states continue to pull the proverbial rug out from under schools. Governors and State Legislators could infuse millions of dollars into schools by addressing unfunded, underfunded, and unnecessary mandates. Instead, they sit back and watch school district make drastic cuts that are detrimental to learning.

Speaking Back to the Common Core by Thomas Newkirk
Speaking Back to the Common Core
by Thomas Newkirk
