This study found that over recent years, teachers in the three high schools who did not embrace the culture of high expectations and whose impact on learning did not meet defined standards either voluntarily left the schools, were terminated, or were counseled and transitioned to positions more suitable to their strengths. For example, Marvin’s principal explained, “I’m not afraid to make changes if I need to, if we get a teacher who’s not willing to put forth the effort.… I do a lot of walk-throughs. I do two formal observations (per teacher) a year.” Consistent with other research, some of the schools reported that they had lost some teachers because of distances from urban residences (Harris, 2001; Little & Miller, 2003).
