Reader Response

I really enjoyed reading your article. Excellent job breaking everything down into easy to read sections. I especially liked the paragraph you wrote that discusses the principal. I think it is imperative that the principal is involved in all aspects of the school. My daughters elementary school principal is a principal that is very involved. Believe it or not, he knows the name of a majority of children that attend there and welcomes everyone in the morning by name. When my daughter went to kindergarten she had problems adjusting for the first week...the principal took her by the hand and they skipped to the classroom. Another aspect of the principal being involved can be seen in each classroom. During observation week, the teachers are not stressed at my daughters school because they are not afraid of the principal. The principal frequently drops in the classrooms and takes time to interact with the children and teachers so that when it comes time for testing or observation, you won't see everyone running around trying to get last minute things done...this is due to known expectations of the principal and his demeanor around the students and teachers. Great job on the sidebar information...kudosScarlett1 (talk) 04:21, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought there was a lot of great information. At the beginning two of the three learning targets were not measurable and could just use a little tweaking and work fine. I liked how the layout of the page was nice and uniform. I found it easy to read and I thought it flowed very well. I may have chosen a darker font or something a little easier to read. I thought that article really hit on some great topics that atrribute to an effective school. I also thought the pictures and the small additions throughout the article really added to it and broke up all of the writing to make it more enjoyable to the reader.

I really enjoyed this article. The topic is one that we as education majors will probably face for the extent of our careers. It is full of very valuable information. I feel that I got a lot out of the article, because it is all relevant information. The article was very well written. I like how you included the comment about it taking the whole village to educate a person. I think that this is one of the most important pieces of information in this article. Without the cooperation of all of those listed people it would be hard to be able to run a successful school let alone an entire district. Rcoll029 (talk) 01:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
