[quote=Anonymous]I am a DCPS specials teacher. I'm concerned about the number of hours regular classroom teachers will be required to attend meetings. Teacher Leaders will only spend 1//2 a day teaching. As a parent I would be concerned about that. Who will be with them the other 1/2 day? A rotation of subs? We do not have extra teachers sitting around to take them.

This year in particular I have noticed a change in student behavior related to the number of subs they have so that teachers can spend time outside of the classroom, meeting and assessing (progress monitoring) their students. Now they want to saddle teachers with even more meetings: content level meetings, grade level meetings, logistics meetings, staff meetings. When will teachers prep for the most important part of their job: teaching their students?

I was shocked to read that literacy teachers, city year volunteers, computer labs, guidance counselors, clubs, specials, extra staff, older students, etc. would be used to cover additional blocks of meetings.
