[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fall is my favorite season by far but October is absolute hell as a teacher. I was hired 7 years ago today and if I could quit, I would. I fell this way a lot of the year but every October is the height of me feeling this way. It’s not the kids. It’s the ridiculous expectations put on us. I just finished writing my SLO and I know I will not make my target. They keep making the target harder to reach so they don’t have to give us raises. They are broke and instead of admitting this, they keep changing everything so it makes it impossible to be considered highly effective. The curriculum is an awful mismatch between reality and what sounds good when being presented to a district. [/quote]

I'm at a new school where the SLO is apparently taken seriously. (In my previous spot, no one cared b/c the kids were so challenging.) It was another "check the box" activity.

So if my five don't make the mark, will that affect my evaluation?  (It's my year . . . ) lol - If yes, ho so? Will it be reflected under one of the standards?

FWIW, I wrote the damn thing for the team. [/quote]

Our SLO is worth 40% of our end of the year evaluation so it is important. I need the raise every year to afford my bills and college for my kid I spent coming up soon. [/quote]
