Most likely these "innovative" ideas are being done, but maybe not as well as some think. Sounds like Georgia has learned how to look good on paper. Ask the teachers in her school what they think.

All the stuff she has "implemented" is the same garbage that is being attempted everywhere...not new or innovative. As a matter of fact the BS "daily meeting" within the teams means that time is being taken away from doing more important things, most teachers are very pissed off at being forced to waste time in useless meetings. "Common assesments" mean that lazy/incompetent teachers get their tests made up for them and several of the teachers will cheat by giving the questions to their students before the tests (they call it "reviewing"). Seen it happen in 2 different school systems where this crap has been passed down from on high. Congratulations to her; but I would be more impressed if there were an administrator who actually quit dictating how teachers should be teaching or wasting their time with redundant paperwork and endless meetings and just let them do their jobs.
