public education. Obviously,
finances will always be a
major concern, as will be the
aging buildings and facilities
not only in Chickasha but also
across the country. Citing
funding as an issue would have
been easy.
However. I guess I refuse to
target issues over which we
have little control. We can
lobby tor more operating
money from the state and
national politicians, and we
can try to convince voters and
legislators for the need for
rejuvenated buildings; howev-
er. the creation of "new"
money is certainly beyond our
direct control.
There are some things with-
in our control that, it seems to
me. make up the issues that
educational leaders must face
and embrace in 2004.
Issue 1. We must maintain
the priority of our focus, our
vision, and our mission.
Effective schools are those that
are able to maintain their
vision and their commitment to
what schools were intended to
do - educate kids. There are
tremendous influences and cul-
tural realities that come togeth-
er to ask schools daily to
assume much more than their
intended mission. Likewise,
the forces upon that mission
have grown in both quantity
and effect. We could easily be
sidetracked by fears of
impending financial quagmires
and turn our daily attention to a
computer. We could easily
become stressed about the No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001
and how to meet its mandates.
We could easily site the many
‘non-academic" areas that
affect students, which, in “the
good, old days." were taken on
by other agencies and family
structures. We could easily fall
prey to those who would like
us to feel badly about our-
selves so that our contributions
are minimized by our self-
questioning. While all of those
issues. and many, many more,
could serve as excuses for not
meeting our main objective, it
is crucial that schools grasp

"Instead, the governor's pro-

gambling dominated the debate
and our time. Even those issues
were referred to a vote of the
people instead ol being dealt
with directly by the Legisla-
ture."
Hiett, who also graded the
session a “D." pointed to fail-
ures in areas such as workers'
compensation reform, lawsuit
reform, transportation needs,
and open government process
as issues that led to the low eval-
uation of the session.
Henry, however, said that in
looking at the session from an
objective point of view, that
grade would likely move up
much higher.
“I think they’ll give the ses-
sion an A.'" Henry said.

issue 4. We must base the
great majority of our deci-
sions and actions on data and
research. The key term for
public schools is "credibility."
This is w hat we must earn and
maintain. We cannot do either
if we defend our decisions
and/or actions with tired expla-
nations like. "That's the way
we've always done it." -or-
"I'm comfortable this way." -
or- "The last teacher I had did
it this way." -or etc., etc., etc.
We must emphasize our pro-
fessionalism by knowing the
research for the best w ays to do
things and by using that
knowledge appropriately.
Nothing lakes the polities
and/or emotions out of an edu
cational argument quicker than
being able to say that. "I did it
that wav because the research
clearly shows me that is the
best wav to do it to maximize
student learning." Administra-
tors must model this behavior
at every turn and must make
available to teachers the
research itself, as well as how
to find it through staff develop-
ment.
