“An administrator is a person who empowers teachers to teach.” ~Kelly

American education is facing three significant challenges:
  • Rapidly increasing costs in an environment of diminishing resources and increasing public dissatisfaction with our students’ learning
  • Clearly inadequate achievement results for our technological and ever changing work environment
  • Inadequate preparation for higher education

  5. Eliminate virtually all student discipline problems
  6. Reduce dropout rates close to zero
  7. Provide students the opportunity to be ready for work and/or college
  8. Improve our economy with knowledgeable and skilled workers now woefully lacking
  9. Save public education from pricing itself out of existence
  10. Do all of the above with existing and/or fewer resources than we use now
