Abstract
An experienced principal transfers schools to rebuild trust in the school culture and community after a recent scandal and declining student achievement scores. A district level supervisor opens a way for Mr. Davie, the incoming principal, to offer middle students advanced classes. The principal believes this is an initiative that will boost school culture by reestablishing high-level learning, reengaging teachers, and renewing parents’ confidence in the school. Adding new honors classes could be good for everyone, but what has this principal missed in planning for and implementing this change?
