Description
I am a former school administrator with a proven record of academic success for over thirty years. Under my leadership my school test scores rose tremendously, placing our school as one of the top three schools in a New Jersey District of forty- five schools. I should mentioned that when I was first assigned my school rated 42 out of 45 schools. It was indeed with hard work, collaboration and clear expectations, determination, staff accountability, data analysis/planning with the end in mind we were able to risen to the challenge. We also received one of the State Best Practice Award for Embedded Staff Development designed to improve literacy skills. I pride myself in my ability to recruit, and build high performance teams through the process of ongoing formal and informal evaluations/accountability, and a pro-active improvement plan based on coaching and peer mentoring. The key is to clearly communicate the vision with a sense of urgency that outlines the few but strong non-negotiables. This process unifies and enhances staff morale, improves team dynamics, creating a competitive yet collaborative spirit, thus ensuring high degrees of productivity and academic success.
