New Leaders Pats Itself On The Back -- Again
I never got any response from New Leaders about their attrition rates -- and still wonder what the hell Erin Roche's mentor was doing for him at Ravenswood -- but it seems that New Leaders folks are all about the self-congratulations, and so they do have a new report out about "the patterns and techniques evident in low-income, urban public
schools making dramatic gains in student achievement."
One of the profiled schools -- you guessed it -- is Dodge. Another is Clara Barton: "Dodge Renaissance Academy [Jarvis Sanford] , after having been one of the lowest performers in the Chicago Public Schools, turned around to become the state of Illinois’ highest gaining school in 2005-2006 and Clara Barton Elementary [Terrance Carter] has made vast improvement in student proficiency rates in ELA and mathematics."

Del.icio.usI don't understand the negative connotation of this post. Am I missing something?
Carter is not working at a Charter or Academy school. He's at a regular CPS school. He's turning that school around after being there for only 2 years. We should give him a pat on the back. He deserves it. We need more principals like Carter all over CPS.
Alex, I suggest you go to Barton and talk to Carter. He'll show you around his school. He's the real deal man.
