[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has instructional specialists and consulting teachers that are really key to supporting struggling teachers and schools, they have community school liasons in high impact schools, these are important positions even if they are not working with students directly. It may seem like there's excess bloating but it could also be that other counties don't even have as much support, at the time I switched from FCPS to MCPS, Frederick didn't even have staff development teachers.

This is hilarious! I teach at a highly impacted school (Title 1 elementary). We have kids evacuating classes multiple times a week due to behaviors who need more support. We have kids who are unable to recognize the letters in their own names in 3rd grade. We are short staffed. We have so many issues that it’s insane. Our instructional specialists and supervisors do visit to let us know there’s nothing they can do.

Just this week we had a child so out of control on Monday that we were unable to allow parents in for conferences as the whole office was destroyed and adults were getting attacked (blinds were closed so parents didn’t know why they weren’t allowed in). We requested the child get suspended but the supervisor of course told us that we are not allowed to suspend in elementary. Today she destroyed her classroom (including breaking a lot of the teachers personal possessions), injured 2 teachers, required two restraints, and was finally sent home around 10- without permission or help from our central office staff.

We need staff in schools!!!! Not central office staff just telling us there’s nothing they can do!

As for this position, it’s probably needed, but it seems we should be able to find someone already in central office to fill the role!
