[quote=Anonymous]This is the problem with MCPS. Any basic practice is tooo complicated. It will take millions to hire consultants who are former MCPS central office staff to construct a report to be reviewed with central office. Central Office staff will determine they need to hire another 2 FTE positions and a new director to analyze the report because their pea brains can’t handle it. Months later a poorly written edict will flow down to teachers to teach study skills along with 50 pages of data collection to record that you are teaching study skills and assess study skills but nothing about actually teaching study skills. The older teachers will roll their eyes. The younger teachers will be bewildered because they themselves never developed any study skills. The new teachers are the C students of 3rd tier schools. Nothing happens but we do have a new director and division of study skills.

Swing over to private school and you have a teacher who degree in the actual subject they are teaching. For their middle school or even freshman, they assign keeping a notebook throughout the semester/ year that will count toward the grade. Teacher specifies the structure, level of completeness required and checks it in class every marking period. In a different class, the teacher assigns groups to create study Quizlets. The groups peer review each other quizlets. Not hard people.
