[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had kids at our elementary school for 12 years.  I have seen lots of movement within the school.  General Ed classroom teachers getting certification to become an AAP classroom teachers - often switching grades.  I saw several AAP teachers become the AART.  Two were then promoted to the Instructional Coach position.  I remember one teacher came in as a kindergarten teacher.  Her second year she went to 1st grade, then to 2nd grade (she started when my DS was in K, so she "followed" him each year!)  She finally settled into 2nd grade.  She was a brand new teacher that first year.   She told me it took her a couple of years to find her favorite age of students: 2nd grade.

I wouldn't be concerned with internal movement.  You need to be concerned with high turnover of teachers leaving the school.[/quote]

I do know of one principal (now retired) who made her teachers pack up every summer and did not give them their assignment until August.  It was usually the same, but some years there were changes--which may have been for good reasons and not necessarily her whim.  She was an excellent principal.[/quote]

I would hate that. In my district they have to let you know before summer break:

[i]Prior to the summer break, principals shall inform all teaching personnel of their tentative subject or grade-level assignments for the succeeding year. Itinerant teachers will retain base-school assignments from one year to the next unless notified otherwise. [/i][/quote]
