[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just love to go meetings to "unpack the standards " and then "drill into the data" to discover that Johnny can't subtract as well as Bobby can. I knew that in the first hour of math instruction in September. But, I must learn how to differentiate my teaching and use a project based assessment to show that kids are achieving so the stakeholders will be happy. Don't forget to "jot your thought" on a sticky note and share it with your "elbow partner" before taking a "gallery walk" to see other' ideas posted on the "parking lot" large sheets of paper (which will never see the light of day again).[/quote]

You want to know what I'm tired of? Teachers that complain but never do so to their bosses. No parent knows about meetings that you have and no taxpayer really wants to fund them. If they are ineffective step up and say something about it. Teachers are among the top five types of employees in the country. How is it possible that you have no say in your own meetings?

Also, don't act like you really check whether Johnny is achieving whether you know his skills the first week or the 100th. Weeks go by and you probably haven't checked a single paper. Teachers don't grade papers at home or after work anymore and are just as on board with getting rid of worksheets and any proof of learning as the admin.[/quote]
