[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what IS the approach? It’s easy to state there’s a crisis, as Dr. Smith has done. One can even try to measure it. But what are they planning to DO? He doesn’t say. My fear is that whatever they do will be like 2.0 and actually make the problem worse while also driving out mid level performers and teachers who crack under the pressure to solve all of society’s ills. There is such a massive disconnect between Dr. Smith and teachers at this point, and so little trust, that really what needs to happen is a change in leadership to someone with actual vision and follow through. Principals like Casey Crouse should not still have a job after a rape incident. You can’t tackle systemic racism and ignore student safety. Students and teachers are not guinea pigs. Enough already.

Who knows what the plan is?

The accountability for special ed is ridiculous now, as it's a daily checklist of accommodations.  So the teacher is too busy checking off the list, leaving little time for actual teaching.

I imagine something similar will be used in the classroom - perhaps moving toward "IEP-like" documents for focus students (or all students).  Teachers will check off boxes and return the papers to someone in the chain of command who will NEVER look at them.  This seems to be the typical MO.

Have teacher turnover and retention stats ever been shared by MCPS? [/quote]
