[quote=Anonymous]PP teacher again. Parents, if you want to help, I think calling for transparency from the Central Office is one place to start. In my view we need to invert this pyramid so that students and teachers are at the top, being supported by a smaller, but EFFECTIVE central and school-level administration who are ASKING what is needed and providing it. In the current culture, even though the central administration pays a lot of lip service to supporting, in truth they are too out of touch to understand. They give us survey after survey about how we feel and provide opportunities to engage, but ZERO teachers have time to actually DO any of it. We need at least twice as much planning time so we have a minute to even THINK. We need more mental health and behavior personnel in each school rather than just TALK about how important social-emotional learning is (yes we KNOW that’s the foundation of all learning). They need to stop hiring fancy speakers for PD who leave us with platitudes and put more boots on the ground. So, in terms of transparency, what are the roles and responsibilities of central office? What is their personnel budget? How many still work from home? When is the last time each has been in a classroom? What does our Chancellor do all day? [/quote]
