High Expectations for Everyone | The Education Beat

With guests Dr. Marquice Clark, Principal, Cleveland Academy of Leadership, Spartanburg School District Seven and Brian Perrin, Principal, Merrywood Elementary School, Greenwood School District 50.

A central theme of our Beating the Odds Investigative Study was holding high expectations of everyone, for everyone. Everyone at these excellent schools expected great things from their students, from one another, and from themselves. We’ll speak with two principals from our partner schools to learn from their experiences, setting high expectations and developing a shared commitment to reach those expectations, no matter what.
