Where are ANY credentials related to gifted education or advanced learning? <br /><br />It doesn't need to be someone's main focus, as these schools house multiple programs, but with zero knowledge, and like zero appreciation for, gifted ed, these look like very poor choices on paper.

These schools both have sizable APP, more than half the students at one school, and yet, it is not mentioned as to how they fit the needs of gifted learners? Like, that is not a relevant job qualification given the job? Why does the district feel this way about highly capable students, like, they should be kept in a dark closet and never made mention of?<br /><br />Hope these principals will do well by the WHOLE building, including gifted learners.<br /><br />-hopingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-34450167735141257732014-04-23T17:13:33.650-07:002014-04-23T17:13:33.650-07:00Anyone on the "hiring committee" willing...Anyone on the "hiring committee" willing to say how many SPS staff applied for these positions? Or is that just too hot of a potato. CH at TM seems much more qualified than either of these women and yet she withdrew. I like that the reasons they stated for hiring these two and that they are female is great too! But these are the most soc econ / racially / ability - diverse schools in the district and these are the thinnest resumes I have ever seen. When you have to list internships and summer school teacher, like what they weren't the captain of the intramural coed lacrosse team too? Challenge to the hiring committee fess up, how many applicants had 3 or more years as a public school principal? This info should be public record right? But I'm too buslazy to do it. <br /><br />-buslazy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-1784024065082088572014-04-23T16:33:51.909-07:002014-04-23T16:33:51.909-07:00Thanks CDparent!

FRL, SpEd and ELL kids are counted more than a regular student which is why some smaller schools have AP and some larger north end schools have a halftime AP or none. The district already allocated TM a full time AP for next year. But the district does take away staff allocations in the Fall if the numbers change dramatically when school starts.<br /><br />CDparentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-26406505964064910202014-04-22T22:42:16.606-07:002014-04-22T22:42:16.606-07:00I meant to say next year...
