.1 Teachers vs. Administrators

• Teachers and Administrators are on the SAME TEAM (both are there for the kids) even though teachers don't think so
• Admnistrators are there to support teachers to try new things, and take the heat when they are controversial
• Teaching will not be considered a full profession until they are paid the same as administrators

What should Mr. Anderson do to address this problem, and how can he do so without making the math department head feel that he is ignoring her requests and concerns?	Answer Here
