[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How has your school handled vacant core teaching positions in the beginning of the year?[/quote]

The interview teams have meet with candidate 2-3x a week. Qualified candidates back out once they see the three preps and grade level split. Stop telling people there’s no difference between on-level and advanced. [/quote]

Can you say more about the on-level vs advanced thing?[/quote]

They have different assignments, the curriculum vary so they count as 2 preps, so often teachers are told oh its pretty much the same, but it requires additional planning [/quote]

Your school still offers separate on-level and advanced classes?  What subject/grade? [b] I thought MCPS had gotten rid of all the on-level classes and just put everyone in advanced/honors...[/b][/quote]

Only if parents push for it. I’m at school where parents pushed for an alternative to heterogenous classes. However, it only works if you don’t have most parents insistent that their child belongs in advanced. Once you get 80% parent placement, you have to do everyone because it is too hard to schedule the kids.[/quote]
