[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't a lack of turnover be equally troubling? I'm IB for a Capitol Hill DCPS whose website boasts that many of its teachers have been there for over 20 years, when nobody in the neighborhood would have sent their kids there even 10 years ago? Sometimes, turnover is preferable to the same old crowd.[/quote] Whether "the neighborhood" sends kids there or not says little to nothing about teacher quality. Our IB school - could easily be the one you're looking at - has a great many teachers with 20+ years of experience. They really are great teachers and most of them have received official, high profile recognition for it. In a situation like that, you can also mix in very inexperienced teachers and set up structures to help them learn from one another. One of those 20+ teachers was adamant that even an elementary school faculty is an ongoing learning community and must be treated as such.[/quote]
