[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think that the VMPI committee (apparently about 70 people?) should have included more “stakeholders” from the outset? They keep referring to how they want to meet the needs of various “stakeholders,” but I’m wondering why they weren’t in the planning stages? More math teachers and parents, perhaps? [/quote]

Isn't this the planning stage? They are still discussing high-level concepts.

I would say this was supposed to be the “marketing/advertising” stage where they disseminated their ideas, assumed they would get buy-in, and then worked on how best to implement the changes. That seems like the trajectory they were planning on until people started realizing what was happening and started asking questions/pushing back. [/quote]

Seemed like they still were getting feedback from stakeholders on high-level ideas...which is what happened...

No - anytime parents or teachers are included in planning I do not think they are really representative of typical views. They could have had parents on this but it likely would have been ones that think all levels in one class is a hunky dory idea. I think it is good the started vetting to the public at large and am only frustrated that it took so long for the negative feedback on tracking to drive a shift. If you ask for input you have to be willing to course correct in response to it.  [/quote]

They only started the public webinars in March so I wouldn’t say it took long......
