[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the concerns expressed on this thread are valid, and I think it's particularly hard to be a family in one of the "leading edge" classrooms (this year, 2nd and 6th) because of the fact that you are often "breaking in" new teachers to either the grade or to the school. The school is in a growth mode, and there are certainly challenges associated with that growth that are inevitable and won't go away overnight. In its 4th year, the school has moved twice, completed an enormous construction job in a very short amount of time, and serves 300+ kids at NINE different grade levels. It's a huge challenge, and I think the school leadership has met it well. It is also my understanding that the Center for Inspired Teaching changed a number of things about the fellows model for this year, and that had an impact on the pool of fellows available to the school - like many families, I hope to see more fellows next year. The retention level for lead and master teachers is high (nearly all moved with the school this past year) and the teachers are overwhelmingly capable and qualified. When there are problems, the school seems to handle them proactively.

We love the teachers, the kid-focused community, the families, the building, the outdoor space, and yes, the aftercare. There is no place in DC that I'd rather send my kids.

Been there four years. There are bumps along the way but ITS is a special school positioned to keep growing and learning, as we all are.[/quote]
