  Case: Science Department Chair
A teacher was given the responsibility of becoming Science Department Chair. The principal has challenged the teacher to help increase test scores in the area of science as they have been quite low in the past few years. After meeting with the teachers of the science department, the teacher realized that the morale is very low, and that many of the science teachers are teaching multiple subjects, in multiple grade levels, so are stretched very thin. What can the teacher do to raise the morale of the science department teachers, which in turn could improve test scores?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher could create a more engaging environment to improve the morale of the teachers. They could have a whine and cheese party where they could name things to whine about and things to cheese about. I think this could bring them closer together and then they could come up with suggestions for improvements.
