RITA

The David and the Wilson school are very different because of the occurrences that Rita has had to face. Although the two schools are entirely different, they share the common goal of educating young adults.   Both Rita and the administrators at the David School look beyond race, gender, and socioeconomic status when educating a child. They don’t have a hidden agenda with regards to having the best player in a particular band class or certain students with advanced academic skills in a specific honors class.  They simply are looking to educate an individual so that he or she may reach their full potential.

The David School is designed to install the basic skills needed to strive in a classroom and succeed in the workforce environment.  It was stated that the David School builds both self-confidence and self-respect.  These two attributes are the building blocks to successful learners.  The two aforementioned qualities gives an individual the self-efficacy to not only set goals, but to move stage to stage towards achieving ones objective(s).

            

          If Rita were the administrator at the David School she would strive.  She wouldn’t have to break the recurring yearly inequality of servicing particular students with a specific teacher or break the racial division between teachers and students.  She wouldn’t even have to worry about her job stability by shaking the foundation of the communities “good ole boy” mentality.  On the contrary the David School’s dilemma is quite the opposite of the Wilson School.  In my opinion, the David schools staff intellectual methodology is in line with Rita’s educational paradigm. The staffs vertical alignment process is simply to educate, reinforce learning, and apply the newly acquired knowledge to the labor force environment.  The staff of the Wilson School has their own secret agenda that doesn’t coexist with Rita’s scholastic viewpoints.  She can be successful at the Wilson, but it will take time to implement her ideology and leadership style.

Having a school staffs that are in tune to the principals educational philosophy is the first step to a successful school.  The David School from my perspective would accept Rita’s leadership assets with open arms.  I believe that Rita is what is missing from the David School because Rita was designed for an institute such as the David School.  Rita brings a level of educational expertise that is missing from the school.   Although the administrators at the David School are doing the best that they can do they have no formal schooling regarding the fundamental process of school finance or teaching methodology.   Rita with her experience in the public school system along with her expertise in the teaching field would not only bring a better leader to the school but raise the overall structure of the institution.

For the reasons I have stated I believe Rita can be successful at the David School.  Her personality when working with at risk students is proven and her unbiased agenda as an administrator is heroic.  Social impartiality along with being able to help students reach their inner ambition is the reasons she can be successful at any type of school of education.
