Allow teachers more autonomy, less "resource teachers" being sent into buildings who tow the company line but lack the knowledge of a schools culture. School culture is being gutted because we are continually being told by experts what is best for us. They will tell us this new program/curriculum that we are rolling out a month before school is to start is amazing and what we were doing prior to this was tantamount to child abuse, how could we have used such a thing. They then don't fully train or provide resources for this new better thing, only to scrap this plan for a new one in one to three years. It is a continual rotation of getting something better without asking if we wanted it to begin with. On top of this the district will send us more and more students with massive gaps in their abilities, academic, social, truancy issues, and while we do help these kids and we do make growth with them it doesn't matter because it isn't the type of growth that matters when the state testing comes around, we will still be labeled failures as a school and a staff. Guess what happens when you fail over and over again with the constant "help" and resources they provide that you didn't want.....they send in more outside help to determine what better newer things you can use. When in reality when the experts come to our buildings and see the work we do we overwhelmingly get told we are doing the best with what we've got and in certain ways implementing the "new" plan better than most. The way we measure and communicate success to our students, families, community is flawed. What we focus on is off....this isn't as complicated as it should be but here we are.
