[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was having issues so we had an evaluator sit in the classroom.

They evaluator had a list of 5 things for the teacher (not the child, not the parent) to change.[/quote]

You paid a person to tell you your kid was perfect and it was all the teacher at fault?  Got it. [/quote]

No I paid a person to tell me my child was dyslexic.

When she observed the classroom she made suggestions to the teacher (and principal). The design of the desks, the order of the classes, the use of the board vs lecture, etc.

The teacher wasn’t as defensive as you she used all the suggestions to make her classroom a better environment for learning.

But you fo demonstrate his the teacher can be the problem and simple suggestions to improve are net with hostility.[/quote]

This is hilarious. So many of those things are out if a teacher’s control.  You think a teacher gets to unilaterally pick what order to teach classes. It has to be coordinated with specialists and the school. If the entire school teaches math before recess your observer’s recommendation that the teacher teaches reading first is laughable. The design of of the desks? Often times the leadership is dictating how they want desks arranged. If a teacher want to use rows of desks that wouldn’t be allowed at some schools. The teacher probably was relieved when your child left the class at the end of the year. [/quote]

Teachers have autonomy to put desks the way they want. That’s not from leadership. [/quote]

Lol! You've never met my administrator. We have pretty much zero autonomy. She comes around and if all of the teachers in kindergarten are not on the same exact lesson, she calls a meeting about it. If we don't "refresh our bulletin boards by the first of the month, we get marked down for professional expectations. She marked me down on an observation this year because she thought the way I handed out materials was ineffective. She said having students hand out materials was too slow and interrupted the flow of the lesson. She is well known for coming back into your classroom the very next day after an observation to make sure you've implemented the changes she marked you down for. Ugh. Her middle name is micromanage.
