| Most important issue: | My greatest concern continues to center around what needs to be done to establish trust in our public schools. I have sought to see changes in three main areas: 1) creating a respectful climate where students feel that teachers are there to help them succeed and where our quality teachers are valued for their hard work, 2) using effective, proven educational practices and being able to adapt as we learn more about what works with our diverse population, and 3) strengthening our partnerships with families so they feel valued and know we are all on the same side. | |
