[quote=Anonymous]If teachers this year were able to raise student achievement (and the test scores will show whether that is the case), then it is BECAUSE OF this principal, not despite her. The scores for years under the old principal were terrible. The teachers for whatever reason under the old principal could not produce even the most barely acceptable threshold of test scores, making Cooke the worst elementary school in Ward 1 and the only one in the wars to be among the 40 worst schools in the District. It sounds like the teachers just don't like that the new principal is requiring that they teach what the kids don't know. Some teachers I am sure are also leaving for lack of performance under IMPACT and would not have the option to stay even if they wanted to do so. Either way, it sounds like the principal is on her way to turning around the school, which so needs to be turned around. I am excited for next year and beyond.[/quote]
