We did at a junior high school I worked at 20 years ago now. We had test scores in the 50’s and turned it around in three years (95% in the tests that “mattered” 85% for the other 2). We became a National Blue Ribbon School. We were a really focused staff: Ruby Payne trainings, targeting students who could take honors classes that weren’t, having tutoring for those students who needed support transitioning into those classes, teaching skills needed for those classes, and continuing to help students who struggled anyway. It was a very positive atmosphere and the turnaround took about 3 years. It’s all about having a common vision, commitment from top administration to *everyone* on campus, and putting students first (providing the support needed to help them learn and achieve). The superintendent at the time encouraged his principals to strive toward such goals; they encouraged us and hired people committed to achieving them. We had several state blue ribbon schools at the elementary level in the districts as well. In the end, our sup. had spent a lot of money to make programs happen to ensure success. He was fired, funding was cut, and schools went back in the other direction. I left to work on my masters. It was a wonderful experience to be part of a school making such changes.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

I wish admin utilized Tier 1 supports with teachers. Smiles, appreciations and acknowledging ones efforts would do a great deal to boost morale and climate. I just don’t understand what that is so hard to do.
