LEADERSHIP
Leadership has grown over the last three years to include staff, parents, and the community at Bester Elementary School. There is an ongoing dialogue among the stakeholders about teaching and learning.
Year 1: The collaboration with the Coalition began in the fall of 2004, with active participation beginning at the Spring Forum in 2005. A team of teachers and administrators attended the forum to learn about the Coalition and the impact it would have on student achievement. A second team of individuals including teachers and administrators attended the Summer Conference in August 2005.
Year 2: The 2005-2006 school year began with a new principal and a new assistant principal as well as 20 new staff members. Leadership was shared among the members of the Achievement Team. Staff was educated on the Coalition through professional development throughout the school year. A new team of teachers and administrators attended the Summer Conference in August 2006.
Year 3: A new assistant principal was hired for this school year and there were other changes in the leadership team as teachers left for other positions. A focus on student leadership emerged from the intermediate grades.
