Wise moves fast

.... WISE, from 1

his visit.

Wise then heads off to a classroom,

slips into the computer lab

and knelt beside two boys sitting

in front of their monitors. The

teacher explains that the students

had previously earned five minutes

of free time to do whatever

they wanted on the computers.

Focusing in on the screen,

Wise asks one young man, "What

are you working on?

The student says he was completing

part of a lesson the class

just completed.

"How does that work? What

else can you do with that?" Wise

probes, listening patiently to the

boy's response.

The scene being played out by

the second boy, however, got the

attention of the leader of the

school district who since being

hired six months ago has been

relentlessly pounding horne the

message · for teachers to teach

"deeper" and students to expect

more.

As the boy listens to music

through headphones and plays a

game on the computer, Wise

squints to look at the boy's

screen, trying to figure out the

game. When the boy does well,

Wise smiles.

"Good," he says, before patting

the boy on .the back and

quickly turning to leave.

When he steps into the hallway

for a debrief, Wise asks

Keen, "What did you see here?''

Keen is taken aback, unsure

how to respond to her boss.

Gathering her thoughts, she

defends the activity the boys

were engaged in, noting they

have special needs, and had

earned the free time through successes

in other areas.

Wise agrees they have special

needs, but asked why the students

could not have worked on something

academically challenging.

"Don't they have a newsletter

they could have been working

on?" he asks.

Voices aren't raised, no one is

angry, but the message is clear.

And everyone agrees there could

have been some "deeper" learning

going on.

Satisfied, Wise turns and

heads down the hallway to the

next classroom with principal,

director and interpreter hurrying

to keep up.

In each of the 10 classrooms

he visits today, Wise slips his

adult body into a chair designed

for a four-year-old or kneels

beside the students, tilts his head

to the side as he listens intently to

the teacher, nods his head in

agreement with student responses,

or asks questions of the children.

In each debrief with teachers

and staff he asks the same question.

"What did you see here?''

And, each time Wise challenges

the instructors.

"We must go deeper, faster

with this teaching thing," Wise

says. "Did you notice the energy

level of the teacher? Did you see

how involved the students

were?"

Wise expects students to learn

more than they are now, and

See WISE, 13 .....

"We must go deeper, faster with this teaching thing," Wise tells the

Sterck administrators.

..... WISE, from 12

teachers to challenge themselves.

It's all about the "kiddoes," he

often says.

"We must go teacher by

teacher by teacher and ratchet the

system up," Wise says. Teachers

must hold each other accountable,

he said.

After the classroom visits, the

Sterck group assembles in the

conference room where Bosso

goes through the school's goals

for the next year, carefully

explaining each bar graph and

justifying every statistic on the

laptop, showing how they were

going to account for every student

to make progress.

Wise nods in agreement but is

also ready with suggestions, from ·

having teachers mentoring each

other to utilizing new resources

and programs. Also, he says,

there is some Florida research

that would help, reinforcing one

of his beliefs that initiatives

should be backed up with proven,

tested research.

Wrapping up

Finally, three hours later, Wise

leaves Sterck, carefully backs his

car out between the school

busses, weaves his way through

the parking lot and heads back to

Main Street.

During a quick stop at the

Burger King drive through for

lunch, Wise plans his next step.

He arrives back in his office,

with a few minutes to spare

before taking two conference

calls, one scheduled for 2:30

p.m., the second for 3:15p.m.

For the second call, Wise is

first on the line with four other

school superintendents, and a

member of the governor's cabinet

to discuss new technology that

would improve the reporting

process to the state.

For minutes the conversations

go around in circles, prompting

Wise to throw his hands into the

air. Unable to wait any longer,

Wise breaks in and says, "So

what's the next step and who will

be accountable for making that

happen?"

It is after 4 p.m. when he hung

up the phone.

Before 4:30 p.m. he heads to a

task force meeting at Cobbs

Gauger. His day would end well

after 8 p.m.

Challenging

himself, others

Wise's position entails duties

that could imprison him in his

Main Street office, but he spends

most of his time in the schools

with principals and teachers.

From September to mid

December he had made more

than 200 classroom visits.

No matter where he goes or

whom he deals with, whether it

Very much the business man,

Wise can still joke and provide

levity in a meeting.

be at the local, national or state

level, Wise challenges the people

around him to take chances, be

vulnerable and make better

choices.

In nearly every conversation

Wise has, the same four words

are spoken with conviction:

Forthright, bold, data-driven and

transparent.

"Rock those paradigms," he

told a staff member, reinforcing

his belief of challenging the status

quo. "It will be good for

them."

"I always look at the glass half

empty," he said," but then I turn

that on myself."

Wise said taking on such a

daunting task of rescuing the

largest and most diversified

school district in the state is not

possible without having a strategic

plan in place or a good management

process to follow.

A key to making it all happen

is having the right people in place

who are not only capable but also

believe in his vision.

"It can't be about the adults

first," Wise said. "It's got to be

about the kids first," he said in

response to a recent board vote

concerning renewal of certain

staff contracts.

Wise said the one contract that

is on the line is his own. If the initiatives

that are implemented

don't succeed, if there are not significant

gains in student achievement,

if the board and parents are

not satisfied with the progress

made, then it won't be the teachers,

principals and staff members

who are fired, he said, it will be

him.

"We have to get in there and

get the basics fixed before moving

forward," Wise said.

"Everyone wants to see the big

fanfare. I can't make the real

work sexy because it's not. If

you're looking for something

sexy, you won't find it here, look

elsewhere."

"I've worked hard at not letting

my passion get in the way,"

he said. "It's very humbling. We

can pull the wrong levers and

damage our kids, the schools, and

the system."

What is Wise's vision, his bottom

line?

"I want this school district to

work well for all the kids and all

the families," Wise said .. "Kids

and families will have to define

some of that, some I will have to

define and shake up paradigms to

do that."

speak on

Rose case

By JOE BACKER

NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER

This past week, former

Cincinnati Reds and

Philadelphia Phillies star

Pete Rose finally admitted

to the world that, yes, he

gambled on his beloved

profession of baseball. No

surprise there.

In his newly released

autobiography, Rose

speaks candidly about his

exploits while he was the

manager of the Reds. He

included the fact that he

bet on baseball, even his

own team quite often.

Some critics feel Rose

finally told the truth to

enhance his chances of

eventually being elected

into the Baseball Hall of

Fame in Cooperstown,

N.Y. As the all-time major

league hits leader, with

numerous all-star selections,

and several World

Rose has the personal credentials

to be enshrined

with the all time greats of

Rose from baseball about a

dozen years ago.

"In every minor league

and major league club

house, and every spring

training camp you go in to,

the first thing you see is a

sign prohibiting gambling

on baseball." he said.

The 76-year-old Davis

and the entire no-gambling

rule came about following

the 1919 Black Sox

St. Mark's wins twice at Va. Duals

By MARTY VALANIA

NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER

Experience that will help them

come state tournament time -

that's what teams want to get at

this time of the year.

The St. Mark's wrestling team

faced some of the best teams in

the country at the Virginia Duals

last weekend in Hampton, Va.

and hopes it came away with

some of that experience. The

Spartans won two of four matches

over the weekend, losing to

Pennsylvania's top-ranked team

(Northampton) and West

Virginia's top-ranked team

(Parkersburg South).

Freshman Tommy Abbott and

senior Andrew Jordan each posted

wins in all four matches.

St. Mark's started the tournament

on a positive note, rolling

past Grundy (Va.) 63-12. Jeremy

Shaw, Tim Falgowski, Andrew

Jordan, Brian Willis and Sullivan

all had pins while Andrew Riley,

Andrew Bradley and Brian

Collins all had technical falls.

The Spartans then fell 55-13

to powerful Northampton. The

Konkrete Kids are the top-ranked

team in Pa. and No. 5 in the country.

Abbott won a tough 3-0 decision

over a Northampton senior

at 103 while Kyle Skinner earned

an 11-1 major decision at 152 and

Jordan picked up a third-period

pin.

St. Mark's rebounded to top

Vorhees Eastern (N.J.) 36-31 in

the consolation bracket. The win

was impressive when Eastern's

close loss to nationally ranked

consideration.

Glasgow runs past Newark

By JOE BACKER

NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER

Senior Marc Egerson scored

28 points to lead Glasgow to a

66-47 drubbing of Flight A rival

Newark Thursday night, on the

Yellowjackets' home court.

Egerson, last season's "Player

of the Year" in Delaware, showed

his teammates and opponents he

is gradually rounding into midseason

form by hitting for 14 of

the Dragons' 17 points in the first

quarter, and also grabbing a

handful of rebounds at both ends

of the court.

"I was pleased with our performance

on the court," said

Glasgow coach Don

Haman. "But, I wasn't happy

with the inconsistent defense. We

looked good, then on the next

play, we looked terrible out

there. So that's something we

really need to work on out on the

court."

While Glasgow was dropping

shots, the young Newark offense

struggled early in the game. The

team missed their first five shots,

and · made only two of twelve

from the field in the first

quarter. The Jackets trailed by

eight after the first quarter, then

fell behind 32-20 by halftime.

Newark coach Greg Benjamin

said his young and relatively

inexperienced team will likely

have some growing pains as the

team progresses through its season

and its tough Flight A schedule.

"We also play a difficult

schedule, but I'm confident that

will make us a better and more

consistent team by the end of the

year," he said.

In· the second half, Newark

continued to commit a number of

turnovers, while Glasgow maintained

its hot shooting. Egerson

received plenty of help from a

strong supporting cast including

Mike Ingram, Deonte Burton,

Khyle Nelson and Pete

Folke. The Jackets were unable

to overcome a double-digit

deficit against a formidable

opponent for the rest of the contest.

In addition to Ege.rson's 28

points,' Burton and Nelson each

had 13 points, and Ingram had a

strong game defensively.

Senior Cartier Johnson lead

Newark in scoring with 15,

while Terrance William added 13

points on the night.
