  • There are going to be a need to dismiss ineffective teachers/staffs. But let's not forget the role of central administrators, who often #
  • negotiate the teacher contracts, restrict principals from keeping young, talented teachers and force schools to accept laggard instructors #
  • because of seniority-based systems the administrators (and the teachers unions) design. The administrators must also be held accountable. #
  • Consider this: As Martin Haberman points out, the ratio of admistrators/other staff to teachers approaches 2:1 #
  • Too many administrators/clerks and other staff. Ultimately, the need to improve teacher evaluation (including using test data) is critical #
  • but so is the need for districts to manage all of human resources/capital in more effective manners. Firing is necessary, but not enough. #
  • Improve the quality of newly-hired staff, end seniority-based assignments and last-hired first-fired policies, evaluate rigorously… #
  • and ultimately, craft curricula that is rigorous and relevant. #
