[quote=Anonymous]What you are describing is not LEAP. LEAP is a very specific model of providing professional development. No one is saying that schools shouldn't offer professional development. I believe that DCPS is paying too much money for this one size fits all model. I do agree with the fact that if schools will tap into their greatest resource - its own teachers - they would do better. I would also like to see a model where schools pool their PD resources and invite experts in to work with teachers in the areas that they need the most support. I also agree that Davis should not have been reelected for another term but the goal was to push out Candi Peterson so there's that. [quote=Anonymous]LEAP isn't going anywhere nor should it. LEAP needs to be modified for teachers. Teachers who are and have been successful in the classroom should have a totally different track. They should be required to come in once a month or so, or maybe serve as a mentor to one new or struggling teacher. But on the other side there are tons of teachers that need LEAP and just need to be honest about where they are as a teacher. I have seen really good teachers in buildings that I have worked in and but I have seen more bad to average teachers in buildings. As teachers we can talk all we want to about respect, pay, and other things, but now of that will happen until the majority of the teachers start respecting the craft and the students they serve.

But in terms of the contract stuff, I'm curious if Liz Davis already knew. I don't trust her and I don't think she works very hard for the people who really need her support.[/quote][/quote]
