[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in my current school 5 years now.  We just got a new principal this year.  She's absolutely fabulous.  Hands down the best principal I've ever known or heard of.  She gets shit done.  She provides a lot of positive feedback to staff who work hard.  She is in classrooms a lot and even helps us do some of our assessments (which take up copious amounts of time).  She got a 1:1 aide within 4 weeks for a kid in my room who didn't have an IEP (and that NEVER happens)who was doing unsafe things and then pushed the eval date up, and pushed to get him outplaced.  In 4 months!!!  With any other principal we all would have suffered with this kid for 12-18 months.  She also ensured a really terrible colleague resigned mid year.  (there were major, major safety issues in the classroom)  I've never seen a principal willing to do the hard work to protect teachers and all the children who may or may not have issues, may or may not have an IEP, from the really out of control, unsafe kids.  Ever.  I'll follow her anywhere.[/quote]
Ummm- by pushing the evaluation date up did she violate procedural safeguards? There is a good reason why things in the IEP process take time.
And the teacher who quit kid year- yea, no.
You sound young & are confusing rash with good leadership. That stuff will backfire. Bigly. [/quote]
