<p class="MsoNormal">In this podcast episode,<strong> Mr. Douglas Rodriguez</strong> shares how he has been able to make significant gains at Miami Central Senior High, which has been assessed as an “F” school for the past five years in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.  <strong>Carolyn Pearson</strong> is our District Leader&#8217;s Podcast host and engages  Mr. Rodriguez in speaking about the importance of gaining support in the community, supporting his teachers and bonding with the student body.</p>
<p>Clearly, Mr. Rodriguez is on his way up.  Our interview was brief but captured the essence of that special something that he has as a school administrator. We should all continue to track the progress of Mr. Rodriguez and the schools’ progress because it won’t be long till Miami Central is an “A” school.</p>
<p><strong>Biographical Background</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Douglas Rodriguez is a life long educator and product of the Miami-Dade County Public School System. He began his teaching career as a Social Studies instructor at Miami Central Sr. High School twenty years ago.  He served the district at various schools prior to his first administrative appointment at Howard Doolin Middle School as an Assistant Principal. While an administrator at G. Holmes Braddock Sr. High School Mr. Rodriguez received his first appointment as Principal of Miami Springs Sr. During his tenure at Springs Sr. Mr. Rodriguez led the school from a “D” grade to “B” grade in three short years.  In 2005 he was given the honor of opening the first public high school in the City of Doral, Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Sr.  The school opened with an “A” grade and has maintained that status each year.  Five months ago he volunteered to take over as Principal of Miami Central Senior High School which had received five straight “F” grades from the Florida Department of Education.  When test scores were released in June, Miami Central had made substantial gains in all areas of the FCAT.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A native of New York City, Mr. Rodriguez holds a B.A from Barry University, M.A. from Nova Southeastern University and a Specialist from Barry University.  He has served as the chair of the Senior High School Principals committee and was selected as Miami-Dade County School’s Police Principal of the Year in 2003, Dade County Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principal of the Year in 2007, Miami-Dade County Principal of the Year in 2008, State of Florida Principal of the Year in 2008 and was the recipient of The Leonard Miller Principal Leadership Award in 2008.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <strong> Description</strong></p>
<p>In this insightful and engaging interview, Ms. Sandra Dungee Glenn discusses her experiences through her life as first a community organizer and then a member of the Philadelphia school board, highlighting the differences between seeking change from the administration and then becoming part of the administration itself.  In her interview she discusses the importance of public accountability, the necessity to letting parents know what&#8217;s going on in their schools, and the general state of public education throughout both her own state and the nation as a whole.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Sandra Dungee Glenn has been actively involved in public education for nearly a decade. In September 2007, Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell appointed Ms. Dungee Glenn to the position of Chairwoman of the School Reform Commission (SRC), the governing body of the School District of Philadelphia. As the nation’s eighth largest public school system, the District commands a $2 billion dollar operating budget, manages 20,000 employees, and currently has 167,600 students in kindergarten through 12th grade.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The SRC was formed in December 2001 through an unprecedented partnership involving the City of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania which sought to address what was at that time a school system in financial and academic distress. Since then, under the SRC’s leadership, the District has experienced five straight years of test score gains and continues to be engaged in America’s most sweeping and innovative public school reform initiative.</p>
<p>Thanks to initiatives that flowed from the task force’s recommendations, the District has seen a significant decrease in the number of teacher vacancies; there were 38 vacant positions at the start of the 2007-2008 school year, compared to 51 at the start of 2006-2007 and 112 at the beginning of 2005-2006.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Biographical Background</strong><br />
Ms. Dungee Glenn graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science degree. Since then, she has had a career spanning more than 20 years in public policy, electoral politics and community organizing. She served as Associate Director with the Philadelphia Area Project on Occupational Safety and Health and Regional Director of Pennsylvania Citizen Action, receiving an outstanding service award from both organizations. From 1991 to 1994 she served as Chief of Staff to State Senator Chaka Fattah.</p>
<p>Ms. Dungee Glenn’s electoral and political experience is extensive. In 1983, she developed and implemented a voter registration drive for farm workers in South Jersey. Ms. Dungee Glenn served as: Field Director for the Hughes for State Representative campaign in 1986; Voter Registration Director for Goode for Mayor campaign in 1987; Campaign Manager for Fattah for State Senate in 1988; Philadelphia Voter Registration/GOTV Coordinator for Dukakis for President in 1988; Campaign Manager for Fattah for Congress in 1994 and 1996; and was Campaign Manager for Blondell Reynolds Brown’s campaign for Philadelphia City Council in 1999.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1988, Ms. Dungee Glenn was elected Delegate to the Democratic Convention from the Second Congressional District in Pennsylvania, and served as Director of the Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee from 1996 to 1997. She was appointed to the Platform Committee of the Democratic National Convention in 1996 and to the Credentials Committee in 2000. Ms. Dungee Glenn also served as Pennsylvania State Director with the NAACP National Voter Fund from August 2000 until June 2001 and led a successful non-partisan statewide voter mobilization campaign.</p>
<p>Ms. Dungee Glenn currently serves as President of the American Cities Foundation, an organization committed to the development and implementation of a national urban policy and to defining a new relationship between cities and the federal government. She is the recipient of various awards including: the 2003 Leon J. Obermayer Distinguished Graduate Award; the Arts &amp; Entertainment Network 2002 Biography Community Heroes Award; Women Making a Difference Award, 2001; and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., Pennsylvania Chapter Women of the Year Award. In 2002, Ms. Dungee Glenn was selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Urban Health Initiative Fellow and by the Philadelphia Tribune as one of 2007 Most Influential African-Americans.</p>
<p>An alumna of the Philadelphia public schools, Ms. Dungee Glenn graduated from the School District’s Philadelphia High School for Girls. This native of West Philadelphia now plays an active role in the SRC’s initiatives to build schools and renovate others, including plans for a new West Philadelphia High School.</p>

<p>In this podcast episode, Dr. Hairston discusses what the presidency of Barack Obama means to him and to education.  Dr. Hairston shares how he has been able to maintain a superintendency position in the same school district for nine years and the great successes he has led.</p>
<p>A visionary and progressive leader, Dr. Joe A. Hairston has served since 2000 as Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, one of the nation&#8217;s 25 largest school systems. In February 2008, the Baltimore County Board of Education approved a third four-year term for Dr. Hairston. His 12-year tenure will make him the county’s second-longest-serving superintendent.</p>
<p>Dr. Hairston’s results-based leadership has yielded a growing list of achievements including greater student participation in and success on Advanced Placement and SAT exams and greater accountability and resource conservation.</p>
<p>A career educator, Dr. Hairston&#8217;s ascent in education administration began and is rooted in the classroom. Over the years, he has developed and refined strategies that have proven successful in raising student achievement.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Our podcast host Carolyn Pearson says, &#8220;I loved this interview with Dr. Hairston. He was thoughtful in answering the questions, comfortable and clearly proud of the efforts of his district including the community whose trust he has won. When we finished the interview Dr. Hairston felt there was so much he did not cover and so many partnerships he has spearheaded so we agreed the meet again at the end of the school year.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="center"><strong><em>Enjoy this inspiring and visionary interview with one of the nation’s foremost educational leaders.</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>  </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Biographical Background</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Hairston began his career in 1969 as a teacher in Prince George&#8217;s County. Within two years of entering the classroom, he was appointed department chairperson and five years after that he became administrative assistant to a principal. He was appointed vice principal in 1977 and was named a principal in 1981.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Dr. Hairston&#8217;s success in high school reform raised his profile within the education community and in the media. In 1987, Dr. Hairston was selected as one of 30 U.S. principals to participate in the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) Urban Principal Project, which was designed to establish a profile of the skills necessary for effective school management, and one of 10 U.S. principals to participate in an Urban Principal Conference at Harvard University. In 1988, he was cited in Time magazine and featured in Maryland Magazine and Baltimore Sun Magazine.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> In 1989, Dr. Hairston was named assistant superintendent of Prince George&#8217;s County Public Schools. Then in 1995, he became the first appointed (rather than elected) superintendent of Clayton County Public Schools in Jonesboro, Georgia. During his tenure in Clayton County, he earned praise for infusing technology into the administration and schools, increasing business partnerships, and developing community advocacy and fiscal support for the school system.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> After an intensive search, the Baltimore County Board of Education selected Dr. Hairston to serve as superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools. In his first year, Dr. Hairston charted a direction for the school system through the Blueprint for Progress, which presents key strategies and concrete performance indicators. The Blueprint also provides structure for the BCPS Master Plan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> In addition to his demanding role as Superintendent, Dr. Hairston has numerous professional and civic affiliations. He serves on the College Board’s Superintendent Advisory Panel, Governor’s Task Force to Study Raising the Compulsory School Attendance Age to 18, Johns Hopkins University School of Education Advisory Board, Blackboard’s K-12 Advisory Board, Maryland Partnership for Teaching and Learning K-16 Leadership Council, and many other educational and community organizations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A native of Virginia, Dr. Hairston earned a doctorate in education administration from Virginia Tech (1993), a master&#8217;s degree in administration and physical education from American University (1976), and bachelor&#8217;s degree in biology and physical science from Maryland State University (now the University of Maryland Eastern Shore) (1969).</p>
