TEAM Charter Schools

Took administrator certification test today. Soon will know if I’m a good administrator or not.

The Economist’s education correspondent recently visited TEAM Charter Schools to learn about and report on examples of innovation in US education. Read the reflections from her week here. While she was anxious about her Thursday visit with TEAM — “I’m actually a bit nervous. KIPP has a fearsome and to my mind not entirely attractive reputation in England for a zero-tolerance approach to discipline…” — her fears were easily and readily dispelled. She says about TEAM, “…I cannot remember when my expectations and reality last clashed so much: the day turns out to be the most fun I’ve ever had visiting schools.”

365,000 kids on charter waiting lists. That would be one huge, passionate protest: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124044271936945479.html

Over 420 applications for 100 Kindergarten spots, with minimal recruitment. That’s about 15% of Nwk Kinder students. Parents want options.

@Dyrnwyn That’s $25K/student/year, or approximately $5 million/college grad/year.

@Dyrnwyn: is that supposed to be a news flash?
