I taught in Berkeley, California. After No Child Left Behind we started getting a new breed of administrator. Any collegiality between administration and teachers pretty quickly evaporated. When I started teaching, no one in administration had a clue about math education and the district didn't set very clear goals. So I've experienced rudderless administration and I've experienced top/down, micro management. Neither is ideal of course.
How is the administration at your school and district and has it changed since you started?
