[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.  We have definitely had this discussion at our academic leadership team meetings.  From what I understand this is a serious proposal being discussed at central. There has not been any formal decisions, but we are putting plans in place so we are prepared.  We have been told it is for select students to receive “acceleration” learning from outside providers. Teachers will be receiving anti-bias training and more training on “accelerating” the learning of all students. [/quote]

This is jaw droppingly absurd.  [/quote]

Honestly, this sounds fake since DCPS generally doesn’t care about “accelerating” students since so many are below grade level. Unless “acceleration” is another word for remediation (since we know DCPS is Orwellian when it comes to language.)[/quote]

Are they planning on wasting their federal money on this?  On "outside partners" providing "acceleration" (likely: computer programs overseen by minimum wage non-union employees) while teachers get some other training that's a boondoggle for consultants? [/quote]

This![/quote]
