[quote=Anonymous]The biggest issue now is that teachers are required to use some ridiculous model of teaching where they are supposed to only give instruction for 10 minutes, then students are supposed to practice and collaborate for an hour before teachers are allowed to give a five minute wrap up. During the hour of independent work, teachers rotate through groups to work with small groups. If teachers give instruction for more than 10 minutes, they get marked down on their evaluations. There are no more lectures permitted, even in secondary school. I cannot wrap my head around the stupidity of this approach. Teachers are also expected to make [u]everything[/u] fun, students aren't expected to take notes, there are retakes on everything, and there is no discipline /consequences for poor behavior. I forsee nothing but disaster with the current instructional approach. Our kids aren't learning nearly as much as we did because teachers aren't allowed to actually teach. [/quote]
