[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prior teacher, not a DCPS teacher or admin or on LSAT and I feel I have more understanding of this issue than most posting on here.

It HAS been brought to the union.  they have already commented on it.

It is in response to teacher complaints they were getting evaluated on a 10 min observation, yet not providing resources to get better.

There are great teachers, many whom can provide feedback to other teachers who are new or struggling.  These sessions with the content experts are meant to teach each other and create uniformity among classrooms.  Teacher planning periods already do this when teachers spontaneously meet to "vent" about their challenges.

I don't see this as a bad thing at all.

That is all great, but then DCPS should take the money that they spent before in central and give it to the schools to implement it, and not foist an unfunded mandate on them.  This is a substantial real hit to many schools' budgets.[/quote]

My understanding is that the schools are in charge of teacher training.  The training effectiveness has been questioned by the teachers and admin.  This was a development created to address real and localized issues that vary by school instead of a one-size-fits all training brought on my DCPS.  These schools already have that funding- it was just used for teacher training before.[/quote]

I can tell you that we have no funding for this.  The funding was previously picked up by central.  This means real cuts to schools.[/quote]
