Protect your BOHICAS, Part II
When you put the nouns "funding" and "public education" in the same sentence there’s little to be cheerful about. In your workplace when all those about you are venting about cutting or adding revenues it will still be the principal’s role to get the job done no matter what the discussion outcome.
You’re still going to be responsible to evaluate staff and make recommendations regarding their employment responsibility of getting all their students to rigorous expectations. And, you’re still going to be expected to recommend structural systems that aid the teaching staff to reach this goal with their students.
Your goal is to do the above with skill and with strategies that has less cost than the year before.

Instead on spending hundreds of dollars with a phone call to your attorney about “making book” on a staff member, attend the “Legal Aspects of Teacher Evaluations” and spend an entire day learning to “get it right.” It’s a $130 for the day, which equals a half an hour on the phone! http://www.mymassp.com/teacherevaluationseminar
Thinking about a schedule change for your school? Spend October 28th here at MASSP and learn from experts the pro’s/con’s of six types of building schedules (HS & ML). The training day price is $135. Too much? How much is your time worth? Get it done in one day, or spend days on the phone, reading, traveling, and interviewing? (http://www.mymassp.com/flexiblescheduling)
