A school administrator is an educational leader who promotes the success of all students by ensuring management of the organization, operations, and resources for a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment.
Knowledge of learning and teaching were front and center at Fountaindale this year. With the implementation of the TIF grant, and knowing that we had to do things differently in order to get different results the staff embarked on a journey requiring them to be reflective of their practice, work to improve their practice, and ultimately improve student achievement. We embraced the idea of removing the benchmarks and creating our own curriculum. The materials used were the Danielson Model, the CES Ten Common Principles, and the work by Carol Ann Tomilnson and Grant Wiggins, Understanding By Design. These emerging trends were studies, modified, and employed to meet the needs of teachers and students.
The school building is maintained by a head custodian and two other custodians. It has been a focus for the administration to maintain a safe, clean, and attractive environment for staff and students. Many positive comments have been made regarding the state of the facility and the grounds and how it is conducive to learning.
