I'm very much interested in schools becoming real learning organizations.
I'm not only a teacher (orchestra director) but I've owned my own stock
brokerage firm and will soon be have the certification to be an
administrator (principal 'n such).
What interests me is that with the move toward accountability has come
more oversight and control. Many of the newer measures of competency are
lists and lists of checkpoints that an observer (e.g. principal or
supervisor) looks for when he/she visits a class. The low salaries add up
to a very demoralizing situation.
