Elisa I am lucky...I have a principal who is a former reading specialist and Instructional Facilitator who is also extremely knowledgeable in literacy. While we have a reading series...it is a tool not the curriculum. If I can justify what I am doing is best for kids, I have great flexibility. To me, that's what accountability should be about. Give me the flexibility to make decisions for myself and my kids and THEN hold me accountable for results. My former principal, who was promoted last year to the Central Office, has always said that it isn't about programs or curriculum, it is about the effectiveness of the person who stands in front of the kids. While I am sorry not to have her as principal anymore, I am glad someone with some sense is in the Central office to have an impact on the policies that will affect our students.
