Principles for Principals (charter schools)

Mixing virtual and in person. Reducing in person Increasing online components- flipping the classroom. Maybe 3 days in 2 out?? Education not a daycare function but has to solve for parents timing needs.


Shorter classes and face time. More motion and movement though modules/classes.


Must be willing to test and learn. Identify 10-20% of failing or under producing practices and change them up annually.


Teachers. Tech savvy. Willing to embrace new way. Capable of change and outcome thinking over incremental thinking.


Solid Stable metrics to evaluate student progress.


Pedagogy is important but it is only piece. The teacher mindset and enablement is the critical enabler.


Using arts to enforce a “creator” based framework. As teach them to create art, (music, art, drama) barriers to learning fall away.


Athletics and competition are attractive and exciting. Choose a lane to start. Use a publicized mix/ratio.


Parent empowerment and choice. Offer parents solutions to teach and be involved… but don’t require.


Multi generational perspectives focused on today. Not yesterday.


Incentivize acceleration and achievement beyond standards. For teachers, parents, and students.


School is equally about the teaching teacher community as it is the student community.
