All tagged Assistant Principal
This week I talk to two college students. One has already had experience as a teacher, the other had graduated high school anticipating a career in education--neither are pursuing a career in education. We talk about what they've learned about education so far (from both the perspective of a teacher and student) and why it's so hard to keep highly qualified people interested in education.
My guest this week is Dr. Margo Atkins-Jackson, an assistant principal with a name so amazing that when you hear it, you immediately assume she’s someone who fights crime in a jumpsuit. In this interview, Margo and I talk about why she thinks a divide exists between teachers and administrators, what she has learned during her transition from classroom teacher to school administrator, and why it’s so crucial to say “no” from time to time.
My guest this week is Dr. Stephen Glass, a former principal and now district administrator in West Covina, California. In this interview, Stephen and I talk about why a divide exists between teachers and administrators, the one thing every school needs to have, and why hip-hop artist Rick Ross would be a better Secretary of Education than Betsy DeVos.
My guest is Justin Shahbaz, an assistant principal at a charter school in one of the many low-income communities of Los Angeles. In this interview, Justin and I talk about working in a low-income community, how to connect with pretty much any type of student, and what everyone needs to know before going on a hike.
