Lack of Communication

100 schools in New York City report that their principal does not “encourage open communication on important school issues.”

Trailing all, not a single teacher responding to the survey at Bushwick Ascend Charter School agreed that their principal encourages communication. Foundations Academy high school in Brooklyn, where no one trusts the principal, no surprise that over 80% doesn’t think the principal communicates openly, either. Over 80% of the teachers CS102 in District 12 in the Bronx (also topping the no trust list) and the Urban Assembly Unison middle school in Brooklyn (what?  the Unison School?) also claim their principals don’t encourage open communication.

The other 100+ are scattered across the city – all levels, almost all districts. The full list follows.

Now, I don’t place much stock in these surveys. The flip, all positive answers from a school, are iffier – as the principal could have watched teachers fill the surverys out. But the norm is mostly positive responses. So such a large number negative on any one question raises questions.

(Note, I created a “score” by weighting the responses A, B, C, D and converting to a number. I’ve used 0 – 100 this time, instead of 0 – 10.)

 

D B # School Name School Type 1e. The principal at my school encourages open communication on important school issues.

    Great job. Our union should be providing these lists for teachers applying for positions in those schools.
