Dr. Celeta Watson, Turning Around RISE Academy
Description
In this month's podcast "What Charter School Leadership Looks Like," School Improvement Partnership President Alan Wohlstetter interviews Dr. Celeta Watson, superintendent of RISE Preparatory Charter Schools.
When the county authorizer denied RISE's charter renewal, Dr. Watson had just three months to find an alternative authorizer. The scramble paid off: The state authorized her three year renewal. She then faced the task of re-opening the school shortly thereafter.
Find out how RISE rose from the ashes (pun intended) and what the leadership team did to turn it around.
