[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His introduction by SB:

“Brings a proven track record of of instructional leadership, school transformation, and a deep commitment to equity and student success”

Is instructional leadership saying he will bring rigor and accountability to academic performance?

Why are we still emphasizing equity as a primary driver. Just say student success for all students, why do we have these trigger words?

School transformation — is WL having problems, does it NEED a TRANSFORMATION??[/quote]

There's nothing wrong with an equity focus. It strives to make sure that those at the bottom have the same opportunities to succeed as those who don't have the same struggles or better resources.

I feel like that APS could have been more transparent with the principal selection process and brought more stakeholders into it. I don't know anything about Duncan, but Wiltmore is quite popular even with his short tenure there. Whoever made the final decision (Duran?) should explain more why he chose one over the other, just for parents and staff sake.

Equity should be assumed, and they should emphasize instead challenging and growing students and preparing them for the real world — which won’t be equitable.

Equity is what has gotten rid of homework, test retakes, diversity of curriculum which often brings in lower quality material, mixed classrooms which necessitate teachers to focus on the struggle students exclusively.
