This case reviews the facts behind an attempt to transform an underachieving elementary school through the lens of the district superintendent and the school principal. The superintendent asks him if he would be interested in taking on the principalship at Greer Elementary, describing that it was about as close to a TFA school as he'd discover in a city that is little.
Would the place at Greer actually offer the sort of the leadership predicaments and rewards he required? If he under took the job, what approaches would be looking-for to assist Greer pupils and staff triumph? And what type of support would he need to request of the superintendent? This case has been educated in an executive education school turn around program for principals and district administrators. It could also be used in a first year MBA leadership and organizational behavior course as an intro on creating value through people-management and design.
