[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am at a DCPS school and I will be leaving after this year. The expectations are unbearable. There is very little positive regard from admin.[/quote]

I will be leaving DCPS at the end of the year as well. If I find a better opportunity mid-year, I will leave mid-year. Teaching is extremely stressful but even more so in a district that continually throws additional requirements on my plate without the training or **time** to get them done. [/quote]

This seems to be a common issue that I hear about from teachers.  What are the new requirements about?

I wonder sometimes how everyone's desire for more data (see: complaints about OSSE) conflicts with the fact that that it requires teachers/school staff to do more bureaucratic, time-consuming record-keeping.[/quote]

I know there’s additional paperwork requirements for SPED teachers. We have kids with 12 hours of pull out instruction on IEPs and they literally get 0 because the SPED teacher is doing paperwork.

There’s additional testing called RCTs that are at least one per subject per quarter for ES. Someone (WTU?) send a survey and I think I counted 9 district required assessments for the first quarter.

The kids’ behavior is out of control and there’s nothing admin can or will do. They can’t be suspended (and that just makes our job of teaching them harder). Kids running around the school building, just walking out, wandering the room, calling teachers bruh, etc.

Kids a need significant emotional help and they aren’t getting it. We had five self harm threats in a week in one grade level.

Building security issues, staff don’t have keys, classrooms don’t have heat, we run out of drinking water, bathrooms don’t work, etc. [/quote]

Are RCTs = randomized control trials?  What is that?  Are those teacher assessments or student assessments?
