[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that IMPACT isn't working very well in early childhood yet because principals and evaluators aren't always familiar what "good teaching" looks like. They may walk into an early childhood classroom and find that there is unruly chaos because a messy expeditionary learning project is taking place. Or they see all children playing at different centers and conclude that the teacher is not teaching or doesn't have high expectations, etc. Also, I'm not sure to what extent the criticisms here would be well captured through IMPACT, which may not place a great emphasis on bonding (and, although I do, not everyone agrees it matters for learning btw), and much less of course on what parents feel. It's emphasis is on effective learning, and I suppose it should. That doesn't mean this situation couldn't be addressed and rectified though, just not using IMPACT. (And let's not abuse and overuse IMPACT. It's one among many tools with its own flaws.)[/quote]
