0.8 positions have to do more BS stuff.

Because the current chief of schools got the job by being a career admin getting promoted after waste, fraud and abuse.
Got any evidence to go with that mud slinging?
The current state of MCPS under his leadership is plenty of evidence of his pathetic incompetence or his blatant corruption.
Haha, mudslinging… what a joke.
It's hard to give credence to your claims about Moran without a few specifics as to his corruption and incompetence.
+1. You keep posting the same things on thread after thread here, but we don't know what you're talking about.
+1 always with the innuendo and never anything substantive about Moran. Put up or shut up.

Sure Pete. Don’t give it credence then. You’re doing a great job keep up the good work buddy.
Actually, I'm the previous poster. Just a middle school teacher here, who wonders what Moran did to warrant hostile posts. If no one can be specific, again, it's impossible for any of the rest of us to know what he did that was so bad.

Say no to what you can. Like this. Just no.

“I’m not being paid to adapt or create new materials suitable for EML students who are being placed in classes that they are not ready for.”
Did you fully read your position’s description?
There’s a couple key phrases in there that mean, yes, you are being paid to do that.
No, I’m not an admin or central office. I’ve just watched too many people pick the wrong hill to die on. Sounds like this school has a focus on EMLs in their school improvement plan. Be glad this all you’re being asked to do.

Bitter much?
A lot of people are bitter about your disastrous leadership Dr. Moran. Look at the title of the post you’re responding to.

Anonymous wrote:I’m in year 6 of teaching HS. The first 3 years were absolutely brutal especially as I came in through the career changer route. But I somehow survived and am still here. But I’m still working 6 days a week (10+ hours). The demands are never ending. This month, besides teaching 2 different preps including an AP class and grading for approx. 150 students, I had 15 college recommendations to write, PSAT training + proctoring, PD on how to support ELL students, additional school PD (all of it useless). I also have to get special ed quarterlies to do this week for 15 kids, a separate testing PD that must be completed, SLO Part 1 to get done by Nov 1, + the usual end of quarter grades, etc. This is all in addition to planning for each day, teaching, grading, helping kids at lunch, answering parent emails. We have also been asked to incorporate strategies to support ELL students in our classroom and collect data on how effective our approach is and present our findings in upcoming department meetings. I could go on but you get the idea.
I wish I could just focus on the kids and my classes. I like to try new things in the classroom but it is hard to get any time to explore and research new ideas and content. I wonder if a different district or private school might be better
I've had kids in MCPS since 2004. Their ES spent A LOT of time doing in classroom data collection so teaching had already become no fun, but, I'm guessing this wasn't the case at all schools. No child left behind plus a significant increase in ELL learners (and kids with IEPs) was really the deathknell for any sort of creativity in the classroom.
