[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ all I can say is that I saw her resume before the announcement, and she listed her CHEC experience as teacher and instructional coach, not AP. I think DCPS is trying to make her sound more experienced by changing her title. Like I said, I hope I am wrong. I would love for her to thrive there. I did not think she was ready to be a DCPS principal.[/quote]

Ok, now you sound a bit ridiculous.  I really don't think that DCPS is involved in a conspiracy to change this woman's credentials.  Especially since that fact (whether she was an AP at CHEC or not) is easily uncovered.  Please get a grip lady.  [/quote]
No, you are naive if you think DCPS would not do this. [/quote]

agree - she may work out fine, but [b]I wouldn't put it past DCPS to exaggerate her credentials. In fact, I would expect it.[/b]

Since she's listed as an AP on CHEC's website, do you also think that the principal of CHEC (and CHEC's other APs, teachers, students, etc) is in on this conspiracy as well?  Why do you think that DCPS cares so much about ONE new principal in one school in its entire system that it would go through such lengths to boost her experience?  [/quote]

One person's expectations that are not supported by fact from the official resume, previous school website, and cash money paid by DCPS as performance bonus. PP has a serious case of combined sour grapes, jealousy, and paranoia. As PP noted, O-A is the crucible of "involved" parents. Why would DCPS risk pissing off parents of a diverse group of high-performing students (according to DC CAS and high school placement) after the past dramas of O-A principals and the high value of IB real estate?

The major issue for retention at O-A was middle school. Now they have a principal who knows a thing or to about boosting performance of bilingual middle school students. (FYI, the middle grades at O-A have similar demographics to Lincoln at CHEC. Very different from IB at Oyster elementary grades.)

Principal Canizales went through more than a simple 15 minute interview chancellor and a dinner with well-heeled multi-culti parents to get the job. I can't vouch for her personally, but the criticism of an anonymous poster who doesn't have any evidence of their claim sounds like desperation.[/quote]
