[quote=Anonymous][quote]I do think it's possible for someone like to me to face less burn out because [b]we have never known the "old" way before data collection and high stakes testing was a thing. [/b][b]That's the way we are learning teaching goes, you know? So for us, that's the only way we've known it to be[/b], but I can see how if you taught for a long time before that became big, that shift could be so frustrating. My big goal as a teacher is to find ways to still teach kids above and beyond the SOL standards and still make it interesting and valuable to them beyond "here's what you need to know for the SOL."[/quote] I have been teaching for 29 years and what you are saying scares me to death. I have watched as great teachers retire and new teachers begin. The new ones don't know any other way except this "teach to the test" mania. It will be private schools for my grandchildren. [/quote]
