I don't think teachers need this. They do need more support staff in the school, though, to deal with behaviors, mindless data requests, and other things that someone other than the teacher could take care of.

I am a teacher and I want/need this. [/quote]

This is it. Constant observations by this department or that. Being told what to do by people who left the classroom
Because they couldn’t do it anymore is demean to those of us who like kids and stay. The stress comes from the “coaching” and constantly being told we are doing it wrong. I am saying this as an experienced teacher who has a strong track record, but we need to start speaking up. The coaching model is toxic and rewards those who don’t like teaching to tell others what is “best practice” rather than listening to the folks giving the lessons with real kids.[/quote]
