What happens if FCPS isn't staffed by the first day of school?

This. They should be the first ones in. They do not work with students and there are at least 100 of them.

I am shocked the county is still hiring this position. It is a waste of money-hire resource teachers so they can work with kids on reading and writing or math. Mind boggling.

One reading teacher, sbts and aart- who are already on the master. So it hits the harder. And the message to the principals has been, they are not sending help until “ all school resources” have been exhausted. So it’s comments like that that make those of us in schools feel like they don’t really care. It’s very much a figure it out on your own message. It’s also insulting that we are expected to do our regular job ( overwhelming on the best of days) plus teaching/planning/ assessing in these rooms with no additional financial stipend.

The county is not willing to send people who sit in offices and constantly rewrite curricula or people who go around supervising other people into classrooms. But they will pull a school reading (or math) specialist to teach all day, thereby depriving 40 students of the essential explicit, frequent reading instruction needed because they are 3 years below in reading. It’s nuts.

My neighborhood ES school is short 4 classroom teachers, 3 IAs, and 5 special education teachers.

Our school hired two teacher trainees who ghosted yesterday and today. No one has seen or heard from them despite repeated attempts. We have to redo class lists and it’s been a huge mess.

Aren't they needed to support all the teacher-trainees?

Instructional coaches lead/assist with CLT meetings. They are only allowed to help teachers who ask for help. They can’t “force” their help onto teachers.

Other teachers will act as mentors to the teacher-trainees.

That’s not specific to the role of instructional coach.

The shady corrupt principal offers his neighbors, parent suck ups, relatives, and homeless people at the bus stop (all with zero teaching qualifications) jobs to teach your kids at FCPS.

Yes, you are welcome.

If you saw the money being directed into more "Leadership" positions, and new staff to support them.
