(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I have had the opportunity to work for the principal of Applegarth Middle School, Mr. Jeff Gorman, for the past three years. As a returning veteran teacher, Jeff was supportive as I grew into the climate and culture of the school. Jeff was supportive of my return to graduate school and was available to me for thoughtful discussions on leadership, academic achievement, and organizational change. Jeff has brought Applegarth to an state recognized leader in Middle School education through his insightful implementation of the Turning Points 2000 middle school reform model. Implementing teams (as small learning communities) with team leaders to coordinate individual team activities for the students and team newsletters for parental communication, are only a few of the changes that have created a learning enviroment that is child-centered from opening bell to closing bell and beyond. He has recently been promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum for Monroe Township Board of Education where he can bring the same level of commitment and energy to entire school district's community. Monroe Township is fortunate to have an administrator so committed, caring, and truly interested in the growth of the students and his professional staff.
