[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nominally, they are certified for AAP, but they have some time for this to happen.[/quote] They not only have several years (5) to accomplish the training, many teachers NEVER do the training, teach AAP, and then move to the base classrooms from AAP by the time the 5 years are up to avoid the training requirement. My kid's AAP teacher is - eh.[/quote] This is true that (in Fairfax) they have 5 years to do the training and they may never complete it, but I don't think teachers switch grades to avoid the training - they have just decided that they'd rather teach a different age/grade or subject. The training is NOT hard. Also, all teachers are required to get an MA. Which is ridiculous considering how much we pay them and the fact that they have to do it on their own dime IMHO. I know AAP parents would like to believe that all AAP teachers have superior intelligence, training, education, etc., but it is simply not necessarily true. (Although for my spouse, an AAP teacher, it is true ;-)[/quote] All Fairfax Co. Public school teachers must have masters? Or did you mean all AAP teachers in Fairfax must have masters?[/quote]
