Steele High School's Legacy
Klinker, JoAnn Franklin
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v7 n3 p22-27 2004
This case involves overturning a 35-year-old program of weighted grading that defined a school's identity. Examination of the practice revealed a curriculum that was discriminatory toward students and teachers with deep-seated values and beliefs among an elite group of core teachers perpetuating that discrimination. Further examination revealed unspecified differences in grading practices among staff. This case can be used in classes that consider instructional leadership, school board/superintendent relationships, superintendent/principal relationships, curriculum, school culture, and ethical decision-making.
