[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did folks see that Sheila Berlinger, head of elementary math, pushed this through and then immediately left to become a consultant?

Wow. Pathetic. All the people making these big decisions truly don’t care about what they’re doing to the school system. [/quote]

In fact she’s now set to make a ton of money consulting with MCPS to fix the huge problems she created. [/quote]

This is so true! As head of elementary math for over 10 years, MCPS math scores have gotten worse. Being at the school level, this is directly related to decisions she made as the supervisor. They could've found another way to approach enrichment/acceleration but kept the same model when Eureka came out. Now telling everyone why compacted is a not effective when you perpetuated it along with the inequities that came along with it, is laughable. They doubled down on hiring more math specialists to "support" schools by working "side by side" with them. No positive results. Also, demanding that planning looks a certain way at every school was not effective and yielded no positive outcomes except frustrating teachers. Don't be fooled, everyone owns the decisions and failures in mathematics especially those leading the department. [/quote]
