[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Re: point 3: So you're mad that FCPS prioritizes professional development for teachers? [I'm not here to debate the quality of PD programs that FCPS offers, and many of them are not on the prescribed PD days which would mean engaging in it on our non-contract time anyway.] Of course, I see your slam about "whiny teachers", so it's clear where the comment's energy is coming from.[/quote]

But, even some teachers are complaining--why? [b] because they don't get to "work."  They get "training" they don't need.[/b]

Yes, or training/PD that sucks. A true teacher workday can be spent grading student work, providing feedback that's more than a numerical score, planning a new unit and prepping the materials for said unit. All that takes time, the most precious commodity for teaching.

If we, the community, really wants to improve teaching and learning, listen to the people that are actually doing the job and telling you what they need: time. Time not relegated to off-contract hours. Time that can be used for professional work load, that is compensated. [/quote]
