[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this how they’re going to train you on the new curriculum?![/quote]

Probably. And the technology won't work or the network will be down when we attend the required training. They'll send us the PowerPoint and we'll have to train ourselves. That's how these trainings usually go. [/quote]

Parents, you have NO IDEA how bad it is. My staff development specialist has not done a thing, even when I’ve requested materials. This is true for my colleagues too. Maybe there are good ones at other schools. Our “rolling staff meetings” are a joke and everything taught online is so, so bad. And so last minute. And so prone to technological failure.[/quote]

Our SDT is good, but she is really used more for admin purposes than anything else. But if you ask her about something she'll find out the answer for you. I wish we had rolling staff meetings. We have them just to have them, and it seems like they just find stuff to fill the time just because they're mandatory. They will never let us go a minute early, either. They drag it out just to make sure we're there until 5:10 and we have them on Monday afternoons which is the worst time. We have meetings every Monday afternoon (CPS, committees, ILT & staff meetings) and by the time they're done everyone is trying to get ready for the next day as quickly as they can. We got in trouble for bringing laminating to cut during the meetings, so we can't even do anything useful while we get ready to do yet another jigsaw or gallery walk. [/quote]
