[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally sympathize with teachers' not having enough time.

Totally sympathize with students' not having timely assignment feedback (or even advance notice to allow their own planning) such that they might have agency in their own performance/improvement.

Totally understand that some teachers are better about this than others, but that that is only one facet of teacher performance -- everyone has relative strengths and weaknesses.  But the variation is pretty high in this regard, and the impact can be substantial.

The question is, what can administrators, both school and central, do to define an appropriate expectation for this important responsiveness, encourage or demand fidelity to that from teachers, and identify & implement supports for teachers to meet this goal.

Of course, the costs & benefits of all that would have to be weighed against those of alternate goals.  MCPS should be forthright with an explanation of an associated decision, especially if it is deemed less worthy of pursuit in light of other initiatives.[/quote]

This response possesses nuanced understanding, asks common sense questions and a balanced analysis. Can we hire you to work for MCPS?[/quote]
