Do HS teachers prefer certain schools in FCPS (i.e. higher SES schools)?

That won't happen PP. Not anytime soon at least. School districts just don't have the money for school all year even if it ends up being the same number of school days. The cost of air conditioning every school in every school district in the U.S. alone would be cost prohibitive.

We have to show growth on our SLO, not proficiency. If we are ever judged by proficiency, I am gone from my Title One school. It's a constant catch up game. Students come in below grade level and while they make good progress during the school year, they lose it every summer and then we start all over again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

What's "SLO"? We are both teachers and assume you are referencing your personal goal, but can't figure out what that stands for.

Student Learning Objectives - it's a well-known term in teaching circles.

In other words, progress (even if not mastery or grade-level performance).

Thanks. I guess it's not so well known in our teaching circle.
