This position allowed me to Q: In your time on our BOE have you noticed any trends or shifts in public work with our students, staff, and community education that stand out to you? as well. Marcus: One trend that is popular in a many different areas of work (even My wife Sara and I have been married for sports) is the use of statistical data. Like many things, data has strengths and eleven years. We have one daughter, Mallorie, weaknesses. Using data to evaluate educational outcomes can be helpful to know who will be turning four this month. I look if outcomes are being achieved. Yet we cannot become enslaved by data, because forward to joining the Fillmore community we are educating students not machines. What we need to do, is find the helpful and building relationships with our fantastic and ignore the rest. It is not unlike (dare I say it) the Common Core. We should students, parents, faculty, and staff. Go Eagles! not use any trend to be divisive, but helpful. Another aspect to remember with trends is that they eventually trend away.
