(Latest solve-all-problems fad! Also called Inquiry-based learning, which is what we used to call busy work in the old days.) It's huge at many schools, mine included - and growing. <br /><br />The whole idea is we just, 'build the field' for 5 minutes or so and then explain how to do the day's 'activity,' which means the worksheet or useless 'discussion' of the day - with worksheets on Google Classroom or big letters and pictures drawn on chart paper. APEX is another iteration of this 'do-it-yourself' style of 'education.'<br /><br />We then just walk around to make sure they're working and to answer questions on how to do the work. So now Charter schools can certify their own teachers after a few weeks practice - where do you think the rest of education is heading?<br /><br />"Why do we need high priced people with college degrees and licences in public schools when all they need is a body in the room to make sure the kids work?" This will be the discussion within two years.<br /> <br />They want to get rid of teachers who will qualify for pensions so they created that Danielsons fiasco to psychologically terrorize the newbies into quitting in only a few years. The need for 'more' teachers will result in more dumbing down of the requirements. Veterans from TIER 4 are the last with a decent package. We are being phased out - pushed out and the pace will pick up in the next few years. <br /><br />What can we do when everyone is against us - Liberals, Conservatives, Parents, Politicos, admins and even students (as always)? <br /><br />Work all the per session you can to pay off all debts fast and have money to invest! Get quality dividend paying stocks ASAP. Buy rentals. Stockpile some precious metals for insurance. Invest in passive income and business ventures online and offline. <br /><br />We are the last generation that is not wholly addicted to technology and social media (and 'smart' phones). Fight back by not letting them make you a destitute victim.

If anyone has half a Brain understands . All of these markers are BS . Most of these students come from mentally unstable homes and even the best teachers in the world wouldn't change the status or outcome of these markers or students . My wife works in the BEST high school district in NY state . She admits the teachers at her school aren't any different then the teachers at flushing . So spare me with this BS it's the teachers fault . It's a scam . I know first hand . I' was told by close state politician friends of mine . Cuomo is doing a slow death of us cause the political backlash from how He was doing the Bloomberg way didnt work well w/voters and his party . Cuomo's Masters hedge fund managers want it this way right now . Next Year LIC , Van Buren and some other schools on the list we be reinterviewed . Hence the "SLOW DEATH" . I went nuts on my political friends but their hands are tied . I only way to fix this is support Terry Gipson . He's going to primary Cuomo and has the support the ALL public education activists .chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16674285044669099609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-69864171007816527552017-10-21T08:50:51.403-04:002017-10-21T08:50:51.403-04:00listen to all the cry babies, yet you stay working...listen to all the cry babies, yet you stay working for the worst school system in the country!only when you grow a pair (get your mind out of the gutters) I mean eyes, and see whats going on then come together (like the beatles said) and become 1 voice do you have a shot at rising above this foolishness.

Each time an admin is removed they land at central with a meaningless title. Asher former principle of Brooklyn Tech now admin of ATRS! What a farce!<br /><br />I was part of that reapply for your job when my school closed. The new mini schools took over and very few teachers were hired. Under rules school must hire 50% of staff but downsizing and discontinued programs will drop that percentage even lower.<br /><br />When I was forced to become an ATR the only teachers hired there were the teachers with less than 3 years of experience. All veterans were dumped! <br /><br />It did not matter that we had given our hearts and a lifetime to our school! Since that time my school has seen numerous failed principles, high teacher turnover, lack of adequate space, loss of music, art, electives, depts with master teachers, teacher cafe, athletic programs, and so much more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
