[quote=Anonymous]So - if you were in the middle of a project, leading a team of ten - and were promoted out of necessity, you'd say no?  The teacher has NO say.   Many APs (I'm assuming that's the new position.) are moved - are placed.

And while I'm glad he's terrific, I'm sure someone can fill his shoes. We had two fabulous long-term subs who are now our top teachers.

It happens.

[quote=Anonymous]I'm all for providing professional growth opportunities for teachers, 
but was it really necessary, MCPS, to promote my kid's social studies teacher in mid-year?

I'm told that the teacher, effectively immediately, is going into administration, and he's very capable, which means it 
is a terrific outcome for the school system. For him, since it likely means a fatter paycheck, and enhanced career prospects.

But how in blue blazes are the interests of his students being served here? What's so pressing that they could not have made the 
promotion effective July 1, after the end of the school year?

It really sucks for the kids, who seem not to have been given much thought at all in this boneheaded move. Instead of getting instruction 
from a highly qualified, well-liked and respected veteran teacher, the class now will be taught through the end of the school year by a substitute.

Oh, joy!
