[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us more. Are most of the coaches gone b/c of funding? [/quote]

Coaches are school based[/quote]

Not ECE[/quote]

The reason why DCPS ECE programs are high quality across the board is due to the robust coaching of ECE teachers at every schools. Families should prepare to see the quality decline this upcoming school year. [/quote]

My child’s ECE teacher was fantastic and definitely did not subscribe to DCPS coaching.  I think many are veteran teachers and I trust their ability and knowledge.[/quote]

Individual teachers don’t “subscribe.” There’s an ECE Coach assigned to each school. That said, ours visited every 3-4 weeks and seemed nice enough, but not much more. For schools with long time ECE teachers or even just long time ECE lead teachers who functionally serve as internal coaches, I cannot imagine this will make much difference.[/quote]

It will make the biggest difference in schools that have the newest teachers/highest turnover, which tend to be the poorest schools with the more difficult kids. Who yet again lose out and are less likely to be prepared for kindergarten.[/quote]
