Hello, I retired two years ago from the DOE. I would like
to let all new Admin who read this that the best way to
raise test scores in your school is to implement a good
Visual Arts program. Find the funding. When I was at my
school I turned a blind eye to all the research people put
in front of me stating that visual art helps with problem
solving, cognitive thinking ect.. It does work. NYC and
other schools need the arts now. Good luck at your new jobs
and for the record, when I was an Superintendent I loved
reading this site. There are a lot of thoughtful comments
on here. Good Luck in September.
