[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach upper elementary and cannot believe we're going this route. I heard we no longer have to report out MIRL (running records) on a monthly basis anymore and K to 2 only has to do it twice a year now!  How do we go from having to assess students' instructional reading levels on a monthly basis to just two times a year (or none in the upper grades)?  What the heck is happening?  I know for certain I'll be doing an end of marking period running record on all of my students in case a parent wants to know their child's level.  [/quote]

You are a better teacher than what we have had as ours will not tell us reading levels and we just hear it from the kids. All we get are MAP scores to show level and that is only because thanks to this site, we can get them online. [/quote]

Honestly, everyone at the school level knows what a train wreck central office is and the "stuff" is most definitely running downhill.  What exactly has Dr. Smith accomplished in his time here?  I feel like this school system has become even more chaotic since his arrival.  He's completely dismantled offices that were working to support ALL levels of learners and their teachers.  We have morale at an all time low and our awesome curriculum is still around for another year due to the RFP screw up.  Well done, sir.[/quote]

I wrote him off when the re-organization of special ed was announced, eliminating the cluster supervisors and instructional specialists. That told me that he has no idea what the people under him actually do and doesn't bother listening to anyone. I hope he gets drowned in an avalanche of complaints from principals and program coordinators when student transfers turn into a huge mess and CIEP gets 6500 referrals which could have been solved at the school level by the cluster supervisor if they were still there. Dreading this year already. [/quote]
