The state conference has been sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals annually since 1927. Beginning in 2007, the Virginia Foundation for Educational Leadership has been collaborating with VASSP and VDOE to present what has become the instructional leadership, administration, and policy conference for middle level and high school principals and assistant principals in the Commonwealth. The theme addresses how principals and assistant principals should be developing their leadership strategies to make the process of decision making easier and more effective. The performance accountability of students, teachers, and educational administrators has never commanded more attention than now. Although the Commonwealth has policies, metrics, and rubrics in place, principals need to not only be comfortable in their knowledge of these performance indicators, but also be able to implement them effectively, synergistically, and strategically. How a principal positions his/her leadership strategy is paramount to the success of these endeavors. It is important that school principals set school expectations that incorporate national, state, and local mandates in guiding student achievement, requiring quality instructional delivery and pursuing leadership goals for success. The conference education topics continue to emphasize the role of the principal in increasing student achievement through the following strands: school leadership, administration, and Management SOL/Curriculum and instruction/remediation SOA/accountability nClB/aYP/teacher Quality/leP/special education assessment and Data analysis instructional technology student services and Programs (e.g., school safety, discipline, dropout prevention) Personal (e.g., stress management, time management, health and fitness awareness) educational law and Policy Thank you for your continued support of the Summer Conference and our efforts to move the school principalship toward a stronger and increasingly viable leadership role in the education of Virginia’s youth. 2011 Summer Conference Planning Committee Welcome Positioning Your leadership strategy 5 Conference Planning Committee The Steering Committee is chaired by Robert A.

Monty Jones, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Teaching & Learning VCU School of Education Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia December, 2019 iii Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge Jesus, as I would not have begun the journey into the realm of education without divine intervention. Next, my wife, Amy, thank you. I wanted to give up so many times, but you would not allow me to; moreover, you loved me well through the process. Brionna, Bryan, Kim, and Virginia thank you for your support, laughter and conversation throughout the process, I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Friends, thank you for your love and support, and for listening to me complain and telling me I could do it. Bell family your support was crucial and I hope to get more of that cake. Monty, without your encouragement and guidance I would have been lost (metaphorically and physically); I will miss our regular conversations on food, tech, and life. Bill, thank you for taking me into phenomenology land; I may never leave. Also, the conversations and insights were crucial for finishing this paper. Elizabeth, your knowledge of science was spot on and our upbeat conversations often eased my anxiety ridden mind about ever finishing.

  • Recruiting and Retaining Teachers for Richmond Publlc Schools: Partnership Efforts Jill Fox, Nora Alder, Harold Fitrer, and Alan Mcleod
    Recruiting and Retaining Teachers for Richmond Publlc Schools: Partnership Efforts Jill Fox, Nora Alder, Harold Fitrer, and Alan McLeod Abstratt Virginia Commonwealth University and the Richmond Public Schools have been frequent partners in education projects and initiatives over the past 30 years. Recent partnership efforts have focused on four issues specific to the needs of an urban school system: preparing teachers for work with students in high-needs urban classrooms, recruiting teachers, mentoring beginning teachers, and retaining successful, experienced teachers in these same classrooms. This paper describes school-university efforts around these issues and identifies the challenges still to be met. Located in the heart of Richmond, the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) has a history of service to and partnership with the Richmond Public Schools (RPS). Over the past 35 years, VCU School of Education has shared faculty with RPS in joint appointments and collaborated in federally funded projects such as Cooperative Urban Teacher Education. Collaborative research projects have examined teacher roles and student learning, and together VCU and RPS educators have participated in training on school reform and consensus building. In 1990, VCU recommitted itself to involvement with and service to metropolitan Richmond by stating its goal to "use the urban environment as a laboratory for studying and developing new approaches to problems pertaining to the public and private sector" (VCU Mission and Goals Statement 1990). Within the School of Education, specifically the Division of Teacher Education, this mission focuses on the preparation of teachers for work in urban classrooms. This paper describes programs through which the VCU School of Education and RPS have collaborated, often joined by other partners in the university and community to recruit and retain teachers for urban classrooms.
