More Power to Principals
by
leadershiphelp.org
on Tue 08 Nov 2005 07:25 PM PST
Both studies say one way to improve student achievement in large systems is to give school principals more power. Duke's book is about Fairfax County. The Virginia jurisdiction has had remarkable success educating both rich and poor students by decentralizing the education of students with disabilities and letting schools choose demanding programs. Ouchi's article goes much, much further than that. He praises a radical decentralization program invented in 1976 by Mike Strembitsky, the superintendent of the Edmonton, Alberta, schools in Canada, and reports significant improvement in two American urban districts, Seattle and Houston, that adopted the Edmonton model.

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
Harold, far from being a ------- , was not ------- to take a person holding opposing political views into his household.
But every school is redeemable so long as it enjoys strong leadership, talented teachers, adequate funding, and enough hours in the day to make up for deficiencies in the home. And federal stimulus funds for education are available to those states willing to prove it. Boston Globe Editorial B IS CORECT!Right-o! Explanation Only “bigot . . . loath” logically completes the sentence. Someone who is not bigoted, or prejudiced, would not be “loath,” or unwilling, to accept someone with different opinions.
