  • Prior to me assuming the role of Principal, the school had experienced a negative dip in various student achievement scores.

After collaborative data review, it was evident that teachers also needed to increase rigor and be more intentional in their planning of effective CCSS-based instruction.
  • I intentionally built frameworks and systems focused on improving both and in a short amount of time, I’m happy to report that positive substantial growth occurred in student engagement & achievement; we shared a common vision; we increased the implementation and consistency of intentional of effective teaching practices; and leadership capacity increased
