[quote=Anonymous]My best advice? Learn the jargon of the month. Parrot it back. Look like a good soldier. See if there’s anything helpful or usable— sometimes there is. Meanwhile, during stupid meetings, always have a notebook in hand that you appear to be using to take notes, but are actually using to organize your to-dos, jot down things you noticed about your kids that day, plan out next week. Take the stuff you were already doing (as long as it was working well for your kids) and repackage it as needed when the winds shift. Multiple intelligences used to be the big thing, and now it’s differentiated instruction and “multiple pathways to learning?” A few tweaks to my Google docs and I’m on board. It sucks. But when it comes down to it, I close my classroom door and I’m the one calling the shots, for better or worse. So far, the kids make it worth my while. [/quote]
