[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What support do these inexperienced content experts have in the area of teaching skills such as classroom management, assessment, curriculum planning and mapping, and such?

Are there workshops for them? Teacher mentors? Tuition remission for remediation in this area?

How is Basis addressing this issue?[/quote]

I have been going through my son's accordion folder regulary to see what is being taught in the classroom. I am really impressed by everything I have seen thus far. All three science teachers explain in logical, orderly and sequential mnner. There is nothing haphazardly put together at the last minute. The homework is a direct application of what has been taught in class. 
I really do not care if they have had prior teaching experience or not. And being a teacher myself, I truly think that worshops for assessment and curriculum planning are highly overrated. There are great resources  readily available for teachers. Instead of spending time on writing curiculum, let the teachers use the boooks/worksheets prepared by experts, and use their  precious time and energy on teaching.[/quote]
