NCLB and California have identified the lowest of the low, so please check out this article. And I have many wonderings about these schools that have left behind students, teachers, and communities.
What counts as a failing school? Which students go to these failing schools? Which teachers work at these failing schools?
What should be done when a school's failing? Will money improve test scores in these schools? Will a new principal fix things? How does 'going charter' affect the school's culture, goals, and daily work?
About Me
- Sarah Woulfin
I am a doctoral student at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education. Prior to grad school, I was a teacher and reading coach. My hobbies include running, cooking, playing with our cat, Amiga, and watching movies. Special acknowledgments to my husband, Jeff, for maintaining my sanity and joy. He's willing to save me from grizzly bears and sweetly fries bacon for me!

I saw this title and thought "oh no, what happened with her project?!". Glad it's not your project on the low--at least, any more than the usual highs and lows of this work!
Miss you girl, hope to talk soon!
