[quote=Anonymous]Former DCPS aide here. DCPS central office gave us a curriculum to teach. Some times it was fine other times it was difficult for teachers. The other issue we had was that we had kids with a wide range of abilities in the classroom so adjusting the curriculum could prove challenging at times. At my current school, we have units and still teach kids content. We are able to adjust if they are not understanding. We can do fun activities that the students enjoy. We have benchmarks. I am happy that I can create my own lesson plans! Also there are not as many divisions that there were at my former school. There are fewer kids so they probably can't be mean to each other like the other school. As a minority, I do admit I as a teacher feel more comfortable because there are other minority teachers and parents. There were not as many teachers of color at the DCPS school. There was a divide between black and white which could be difficult to navigate.[/quote]
