[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an elementary teacher in the county. Some areas of Central office are so understaffed, and other positions could be easily cut. For example, the county added 12 county-level math content coaches this year. They took 12 hard-working school-based teachers AWAY from working with students and placed them in Central in advisory roles. It is a horrible waste of money.

I think we need someone to come in and really evaluate each position and see what can be reduced or combined and what is essential.[/quote]

Agree 💯. The math content coach from central comes to our planning sessions and offers great ideas…on paper. When we present our actual data showing multiple gaps in students fundamental skill knowledge and ask for feedback regarding implementation, the skill deficits are ignored. I am at a Title I school with many ELL students/newcomers, and while the math content coach has great ideas on paper, it does not translate to what our students actually need. When asked if they could help administer assessments or simply look at the math assessments, we have given, the math content coach clearly articulated “that’s not my job.” What we need is actual support delivering differentiated content and strategies for our students who need the most support.[/quote]

+1 million. Can you imagine if we, as teachers, ever said, "That's not my job."? I am sick of people making 2 to 3 times my salary who just walk away from getting the real work done, with no consequences. PARENTS ON THIS BOARD: This is a big reason why teachers quit.  [/quote]
