[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone appalled by the state of ELA instruction in MCPS needs to reach out to these folks to let them know how you feel:

Chief Academic Officer Niki Porter
Chief of Schools Peter Moran
Superintendent Thomas Taylor[/quote]

Porter has architected this as much as anyone.
Moran doesn't care.
[b]Taylor was snowed into promoting them and others to fill the lead positions early in his tenure, and has few options to get out of it quickly enough -- none without upturning the apple cart[/b].[/quote]

Taylor wasn't snowed into promoting anyone.  Let's be serious.  He certainly choose other people in other positions and remove others from CO all together.[/quote]

He had to keep some institutional knowledge for basic functionality.  Enough of them circled the wagons, unfortunately such that Hazel/Porter and McGuire both avoided the axe and slid in to fill the upper level voids created, and these, then, were able to influence to keep some allies (Franklin, e.g.) in important spots.

What it appears he didn't do was to lay down conditions for their remaining tied directly to certain kinds of change the community seeks.  Whether that is because it was too early for him to have understood that, whether he, himself, had a vision not aligned with the community's (despite broad opening language that might have been interpreted as their being aligned) or whether he agreed to more MCPS-institutionally entrenched priorities as part of his being selected by the BOE, who knows...

Moran is meh.[/quote]
