[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elementary SDTs run the school from behind the scenes. I did it for a few years and got fed up with all the directives from central office. I went right back into the classroom with zero regrets. That being said, there's no way elementary schools could function without SDTs.[/quote] That’s laughable considering that so many elementary schools all over the county function just fine and many actually outperform MCPS elementary schools without a SDT. I’ve worked in enough districts to know this for a fact. Cut the crap. [/quote]

Yikes. Perhaps there is someone else doing what STDs do in other districts. I really think their job titles are mislabeled.  That being said- MCPS is highly mismanaged.  That doesn’t mean those at the bottom are insincere or that their positions don’t truly benefit staff.  They don’t make the rules - they follow what is expected of them.  Have some grace. They are valued. [/quote]

That’s because in elementary schools, SDTs are crucial-they are basically admin without the pay. In middle and high schools, they are not as effective. They provide “PD” once a month that is often not useful and ends up feeling like a waste of planning time. They also run the once-a-month staff meeting-big deal. They don’t do much (or anything) to actually support teachers, whereas in elementary school, SDTs do a lot for teachers.[/quote]
