I guess that guy has a lot of dirt on a lot of people and so can pull a lot of strings. Why else would that disastrous school be headed up by such a disastrously bad principal for so long? It's because of her creepy, powerful husband, who himself should be investigated (Preet Bahara are you there?) Anyway she's finally gone.

I was there. She did those racist things against the black teachers. I didn't speak up because I did not want to be targeted or fired for opening my mouth. <br /><br />The unknown secret is that she also had it in for the WHITE teachers, and most left the school after her first year. Why, you ask? Here is another secret: even though the media is trying to spin this as an 'evil white' thing, she is in fact a Puertorican mulatta with a slight accent who dyes her hair blond from time to time. <br /><br />She hates whites and all but told us so during one staff meeting through a story about how the 'evil white' editors of a magazine she used to write for 'held her down' and denied the quality of her writing. As principal, she hired almost all Asians and Latinos as new staff her second year after driving away almost all the white teachers (and firing the black ones).

Danielson's is the most prone-to-being-abused evaluation 'tool' ever invented. The admins can circle whatever they want on the rubric regardless of what is happening in the classroom, and you have no recourse. At my renewal schools we are demoralized due to all the 1s and 2s that have been flying around, and for no good reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-53595273496646977422016-06-09T18:44:40.475-04:002016-06-09T18:44:40.475-04:00I work in a renewal school.
