[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]City Arts... wow.

"Some classrooms, primarily in the early elementary grades, were marked by
observable instructional engagement and procedures. In others there was noticeable
hostility between students and teachers, no clear procedures, and little to no observable
instruction. Likewise, in some observations students were cognitively challenged in welldesigned
learning tasks. In others no learning occurred. "[/quote]

I know it's terrible but this line from their report did make me laugh because I could imagine this exchange said matter of factly:
"One student got permission to
leave the room for the bathroom, but said, “I know
you’re not going to let me back in!” The teacher
responded, “No, probably not.”

I do think it's very likely that all the great and positive interactions were likely in the PK and K classrooms. It's easy to engage and redirect kids at that age. In the older elementary years is when it gets more difficult.

I love these QSR reports. I think all schools in the metro area should start using them. Way more valuable then test scores for helping parents evaluate a school.[/quote]
