[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single school district has this problem right now. The number one focus should be [b]utilizing our resources to get kids certified classroom teachers. That is 100 teachers right there.[/b] If they also got rid of resource teachers that could be an additional 200 teachers. [/quote]

I'm confused. That's 100 teachers right where?[/quote]

By pulling instructional coaches back to the classroom, I think. Although there are more than 100. Most schools in FCPS now have one. Some even have multiple. Principals love them, but many teachers see them as data crunchers/principal lackeys. [/quote]

Principals like that they can not deal with professional development.

Most of them didn’t want to “do the classroom” anymore because they couldn’t handle al the pressure coaches put on classroom teachers.  So to fix that, they became a coach.   The coach model has turned into one of the most stressful points on teachers as they take away planning time.  The coaches mostly have no clue what each specific grade level should be doing  and they end up removing the focus on instruction and what the best way to teach a concept is and focus solely upon data.

They should go back to the classroom.[/quote]
