I think tha t is what Bob was trying to say when he mentioned re-humanizing teachers....I t ook that to mean treating them as professionals with knowledge about their prof ssion and how to carry out what they are paidto do.I include principals in this ....they are asked to "lead" and be "responsible" but are not given the authori ty,or freedom if you will,to do so.Did i understand you correctly?
