[quote=Anonymous][quote]Are principals subject matter experts in all contents? No, at least the MEs were. Also now there will be observation free blocks of periods for innovation, finally DCPS has realized that good teaching, is not teaching to a pre-described checklist which they have been pushing for 5 years. The rest of the country has been following DCPS, now they suddenly switched up the program because it was not innovative or producing the results. Mind you having 12-year old evaluate you is not any better. DCPS spent 5 years churning and burning, now here we go again.[/quote] And that is where you are wrong, my friend. These M.E.'s are NOT experts in the content areas. Most have never even taught in D.C.P.S. schools and have never had to be highly effective under IMPACT. So how can a recent college grad who taught for 2-4 years tell a veteran teacher who has dedicated his or her career to the youth of D.C.? Ask a teacher if they have had any helpful advise from a M.E. and the answer will likely be a resounding no. And as for the innovation blocks. Watch how DCPS spins it. It will be something completely different from what it sounds like initially. D.C.P.S. cannot be trusted. As soon as something is working they pull the rug out and try something else. They don't care about the kids or the teachers. It is all one big social experiment. [/quote]
