[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet she has already held at least one headship.  Chicago lab is not some silly little school. So apparently it’s not that important.  [/quote]

What does that mean? Apparently getting hired as head automatically means having nearly no teaching experience is ok? Yet, she didn’t finish out her full contract. Lab isn’t some silly little school, yet their interim head lasted a few months. I’d be skeptical of using Lab as a barometer for selecting a good head.

Either way, GDS is in a poor position with this lengthy search announcement, especially after all the other administrative search things happening or that need to happen. Hired new LS head, hired associate head who left, hired US head who left, and hiring a CFO all within a few years. From insider perspective it’s not a good look. I can’t imagine what those on the outside think, especially those who were in the pool to be the next HOS.[/quote][/quote]

Yes, that’s exactly what it means. If she became a head of school at Chicago Lab her accomplishments as an administrator were obviously significant, and some litmus test of X number of years in the classroom before moving into the administrator track clearly means little.   Your criticism of Lab school is also not relevant here. You’re welcome to criticize the candidate, but I don’t think you have facts so you’re just working on rumors.  here. I have no issue with your criticisms of GDS here. [/quote]
