[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should do both. However based on what we know she may or may not. Let's hope for the best for everyone's sake. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yes, she will get a hell of a fight if she decides to take the focus off of the top tier kids and shifts it to the low performers. She should tread lightly. [quote=Anonymous]Principal Smith had just started pull outs for high achievers — in part because their PARRC scores last year showed regression among high 4s/low 5s and that’s actually what killed them on some of the OSSE star rating metrics. The fact it was motivated by test scores is dumb but fairly predictable, but I hope Principal Daniel and the new AP keep those pullouts. I’m all for additional help for underperforming kids, but if you’re pitching class content at getting kids to 4 on PARRC, I want additional supplementation for kids who probably get 4s and even 5s if they didn’t even go to school. I don’t mean super geniuses, I mean regular smart kids from privileged enough backgrounds that tests accurately reflect their capabilities and who now make up a big chunk of the school. I don’t want plenty of 4s on PARRC to be the only undifferentiated goal.[/quote][/quote]

Who says she can't do both? That's what should be happening, although a slightly greater focus on earlier learners makes sense. If I see my advanced learner slip, I wouldn't necessarily take it up with the principal but the teacher.[/quote][/quote]

Honestly, LT is in a bad spot with Smith quitting so late.  We are lucky to be getting someone who has a reasonably good review from other schools.  I'm sure Ms. Daniel wouldn't have taken the job if she wasn't interested in it.  Having someone who is very knowledgeable about at-risk kids will be good, because serving them effectively will make things better for everyone.  [/quote]
