Gary Cohen Just Ask Leadership Assessment…

Retaining for Results! Leading …. The difficult conversation…  The teacher who’s results are poor  The teacher who has received support and guidance  The teacher who continues to fail at teaching  The obligation of the principal  The meetings that took place  The decision that must be made  The politics that you will navigate

Leading for High Quality Teaching: Retaining only those who will get results A case analysis:  What are the obligations of the teacher for effectiveness? The givens and what is the standard for this teacher?  What are your obligations as the principal: What support have you provided, what input have you given, have you established goals for performance?, Have you used data to guide your discussions? Have you provided professional development?  What challenges are you facing?.  What’s the political landscape?  What’s the decision you need to make?  How will you know you did the right thing?
