The Evolving Role Of The Principal With My Assistant Principal Kelly Romasco

378 Words2 Pages

In discussing the evolving role of the principal with my assistant principal Kelly Romasco, I learned that data is one of the most important tools that the administration can use. When I asked her in what way the focus has changed the way she works with teachers, I expected her to talk about student data and achievement. Instead she talked about how she uses data on the teachers, especially with their previous “walk-throughs” and observations. She explained that she was as interested in the growth of the teachers as she was with the achievement of the students. This shocked me because when I think of data in education, I immediately think of test scores. Mrs. Romasco went on to explain that the Learning Management System that is in place at

    This is a key part in schools today because it’s enforcing a higher bar of achievement for teachers and students (Catapano, 2018). Implementing standards into a school system that are internationally benchmarked means all states and countries have a way of measuring their academic performance. They can use this also as a tool to compile scores and understand the weaknesses to improve students’ knowledge.

It will help the teachers to strive to improve her test scores by adapting lesson materials to the needs of each

    Our current period in education is full of great change and opportunity. Students, teachers, and principals are being challenged to think, learn, and apply in different ways. The Common Core State Standards and technology are the main reasons this time period is so important. These two things are creating, "great opportunities within themselves" (Fullan, p.12, 2014) and at the same time are very challenging because they have "unclear implications for implementation" (Fullan, p.12, 2014). Both Common Core State Standards and technology are very complex and create an exciting time in learning across the educational system however, make it challenging for educators in the U.S. to be effective and implement in a way that maximizes learning.

    The effort needs to focus on every child and their needs. In his work as an education guru, Robert Marzano offers guidance that could lead us toward curriculum and instruction that celebrate student learning and achievement, but more importantly, growth. Formal assessments are good if they reflect points in the students journey, not as a one and done grade (Marzano, 2013). Formal assessments for students should only represent points on a performance scale. Marzano noted that "characteristics of sound feedback" include that it should be frequent, give students a clear picture of their progress and how they might improve, and provide encouragement.

    In order for teachers to do their jobs, they need educational tools. However, in many large school districts, they “lack important teaching tools, such as computers and up-to-date textbooks” (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). As a result of this, teachers are held accountable for the success/failure of standardized test. On the upside, both jobs are generally independent work without the supervision of a higher ranking individual within the field.

    The Hechinger Report mentioned a “modest degree of improvement” in early 2016. This can also be attributed that many school districts are more focused on exceling in the yearly examinations and teach year-round on how to pass the test and not on how to understand the information being taught. The higher the percentage of passing students, the more recognition the school receives under the Every Student Succeeds Act grants. Consequently, the over enthusiasm of a school district in Atlanta, Georgia showed evidence of teachers who were inflating test scores in order to obtain better numbers for the district. This seemingly high success rate came attached to bonuses for the 11 teachers involved.

    Video Response 3 Addressing a student’s needs plays a vital part in the student’s academic success. Understanding one’s needs requires that a teacher take the steps to understanding the child’s personality traits, interests, abilities, disabilities, and so forth. Students are more likely to grasp the interest of learning a specific subject if they feel that the teacher is kind and understanding, just as Trisha and Brittany’s teachers is. Brittany’s mother mentions that a significant change is notable in Brittany’s self-esteem and grades (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015). Trisha certainly associates her good grades to her relationship with her science teacher and identifies her teacher as helpful (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015).
