Video: Two High-Performing Principals Talk Achievement Gap Strategy

On October 3rd, 2008 we heard two high-performing Minneapolis principals talk about their work: Ossie Brooks James of Lyndale Elementary School, and Jane Thompson of Loring Elementary School . The presentation was moderated by Katherine Page, former principal of the award-winning Highland Elementary School in Columbia Heights.

The Principals spoke about curriculum and instruction, collecting and using data, staff development, teacher collaboration, and family involvement. Both schools have made progress in student outcomes.
