How can we improve the teachers and the teaching at Emerson and Uni HS?
We understand from discussions with principals, educators, and education specialists that the best way to have bright and engaged teachers within a school is by setting high expectations, and holding staff accountable to those expectations. In addition to strong principal leadership, a key part of expectation-setting and accountability includes having a strong base of engaged parents who support the principal in holding teachers accountable (you see this in action currently at Westwood, Fairburn, and Warner Elementary Schools). Parents at the transformed Emerson will be very involved at the school and will work with the principal to support high expectations and accountability. This will include visiting and/or volunteering in the classrooms so that we are accountable to our school and our school is accountable to the community.
