Danny,

Thanks for making the contact with me. I had been a Technology Coordinator at Harper High School (CPS) in West Englewood, and in that capacity, I did get the school up to 92% network compliance. I pushed for professional development constantly, as well as making our network available to as many students and teachers as possible. I was relieved of my position 2 weeks before the school year began last August by our new principal. I had hoped for change, as the previous principal was a good day to day bureaucrat, but had no vision for the school's growing technology and its use. When the new principal came on board, I had hoped, that because she was young (35), I would have someone I could really work with and push my agenda. Instead, she put me back in the classroom (all freshman English -- horrible creatures they are) and then she brought in an outside vendor who she paid an hourly wage. He proceeded to gut the network I had worked hard to help grow. He left computers unprotected, and she allowed labs to become game and video rooms.

I received my MS in Ed with a Focus in Technology Integration 2 years ago, but working with Administrators who are not tech savvy seems to be one of the primary barriers to progress once the hardware and infrastructure is in place.

Now thanks to the great minds at Central Office, they have fired the entire staff, retaining a handful of teachers and career service personnel, and of course, the Administrators they gave Harper last August. The school is being touted as a "turn-around" school.
I'm looking for a job.

Hi, Danny! Thanks for the add! =)
