When the new superintendent demonstrated a collaborative leadership style by forming a Principal interview team that included both veteran and new teachers to choose the new principal, it well-received; therefore, as the new principal, following through with a similar collaborative style would likely be successful.

    Should I go back to my ruined city, and help to rebuild it, or should I stay somewhere safe and try to move on? This painful dilemma was the question I faced in December 2005, when schools began to reopen after Hurricane Katrina. I made the choice to go back, and to teach some of the first high school students making their difficult way back to the city from wherever they had fled. It was an exhausting and stressful experience, but one that taught me so much—about resilience, innovation, and what even teenagers will put up with for the love of their home city. I arrived at O. Perry Walker High School on January 6, 2006—a Friday.…

    Traditionally, disruptive behavior in the classroom resulted in negative consequences symbolized by the image of the misbehaving student wearing the “dunce cap” (Weaver, 2012). However, now schools throughout the United States have begun to adopt Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS), which is designed to increase the amount of positive affirmation that students receive when behaving appropriately in the classroom (Caldarella, Williams, Hansen, & Wills, 2015). Research has demonstrated that PBIS may have the potential to reduce conflict in schools and create a more supportive environment for students (Lane‐Garon, Yergat, & Kralowec, 2012). PBIS has the potential to reduce school conflict because it proactively teaches appropriate…
