[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS central office apparently went after principals and admin over their standardized test scores...this sent admins into panic mode and they started taking it out on the teachers. Things are really bad right now. My entire building wants to quit. MCPS is collapsing. [/quote]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that A&S meeting. Of course, central office doesn’t know that raising scores is a years-long process that depends on factors such as, oh, I don’t know, not changing the curriculum more than you change clothes, giving kids wraparound support, respecting teachers and modernizing the profession based on recent trends, I could go on …[/quote]

Sounds like my staff meeting we had this week. Whole group instruction should not only be differentiated to meet the individual needs of 35 students in the class, it should only be 15 minutes max. Homogeneous grouping is where students learn! Except ya know, it's 2023 and everyone in education should know at this point "tracking" is absolutely not considered best practice. Less class time and more independent time is not where it's at for these kids. They can barely function with someone sitting directly next to them telling them exactly what to do. No one innovative is running this district or these schools. If you're admin, you should know best practices and actually practice them. I'm done after this year. [/quote]
