Abstract:

"My constant inner battle as a curriculum specialist at Brighton School is how to balance what is best for children and at the same time nurture needy teachers," writes Betsy Rogers, a former national teacher of the year who now works in one of Alabama's most challenged schools. "How do you work in a situation where the teacher needs are often greater than the needs of the students?" In this recent blog entry, Rogers describes the dilemma school leaders face when they have tenured faculty members "who will not try" to improve. "As a professional educator...I believe we also have a moral imperative to our profession to insuring the quality of teaching. This is the bottom line issue in my school -- teaching quality."
