[quote=Anonymous]I haven't taught in LCPS, but my experiences in FCPS as a new teacher were positive, mainly due to strong building level leadership and the amazing PD opportunities provided by the county. You can easily meet all of your recertification requirements and gain points for a "lane change" through the PD that FCPS offers teachers for free. The Academy courses I took were comparable to graduate courses in terms of rigor and applicability to the classroom. I'm currently teaching in another area due to moving for my husband's job, and while I like my new district and school, there are many things I miss about FCPS, both as a teacher and parent. However, a big part of my positive experience came from having excellent building level administrators, instructional coaches, and colleagues who were focused on developing new teachers. I like my new district, but don't know if I would have survived in it as a brand new teacher. [/quote]
