Education / Teaching thread

Yes, the "tiered" materials that are supposed to be perfectly aligned with the standardized test. Garbage in, garbage out. Don't dare deviate from the script! :covri:

Sorry you got to that point, I was really hoping Ca would hold the line. I'm sure this isn't the way you envisioned going out. Who knows, maybe something else will open up, something more appealing?
It got to the point that this issue is district specific. At the top we have a mindset of these poor kids and they need all this help because they can’t. Site specific they have allowed a bad choice as principal put in all her friends/yes men that are no threat and just agree. I’ve been in hot water most of the year because I do believe, and started questioning. They spend hundreds of thousands just at my site for programs and training for compliance. So I asked where is the training for young teachers to learn how to teach well? Hone their teaching skills. My principal looked me dead in the eye and said “I expect compliance with programs. Training like you suggest is a waste of money”.

So this issue to me is more site/district than anything else. So I will find another job in a surrounding district. I have connections, and admin who know what I can do. I’m not worried.
