Why Leadership Matters
Will Deyamport, III

Mr. Deyamport talks about how leadership in schools can be a deciding factor in a student's academic success.  Others blame their current teacher, but the leadership of the school is the determining factor.  In every school whether urban or rural, each has the potential for greatness through leaders in the district or current school.  The leaders set the overall tone of every school.  They make the decisions regarding personnel decisions and programs involving the school.  Showing by example is the only way to get your teachers excited about education.  The comment:  Hello! My name is Tina Behel. I am a student from the University of South Alabama, in Mobile. I believe the lack of leadership goes on in so many schools these days. Urban schools sometime may lack the community involvement to see the school succeed. That gap needs to be closed by good leaders of the school. The school systems need to get behind the view of the whole child and not just teaching to test. Every child has the right to the best education possible. Our leaders need to think about the children not themselves.


Dissertation Video
Will Deyamport, III

The video, that was shown, is an update on how Mr. Deyamport's dissertation is going.  He has chapters one through four completed and revised.  Hopeful, there will not be another revision; he is relieved this part is almost over.  Chapter five is a work in progress, and he thinks it will go well.  The comment that I left for Mr. Deyamport:  Hello!  I am a student from the University of South Alabama. I am majoring in Elementary Education. I am glad you have successfully turned in your dissertation, chapters one through four. This is a great accomplishment. Keep us posted on your final product. Congratulations.
