I read a fellow student's blog today about lack of support from her district. Basically, the district spent money to bring Stratelogica to the classroom but never gave the teachers any training.
What gives?
Why are we as teachers never given the support we need to adequately run our classrooms. Why can't you give us training on how to effectively use a new computer software program in the classroom?
We wouldn't give the IRS new software and say just give it a try......
Lord knows the government has provided MANY hours of instruction and probably FREE LUNCH to it's employees.
We wouldn't hand a surgeon a new tool and say, "just go with it". So why do you put our teachers through this, day in and day out?
So what about the teachers? The ones who are paid to educate our kids. The ones who are with our kids everyday. Who provide hugs, snack, a listening ear ALL while trying provide love and safety, as well as fit in Common Core.
So here's my question to the districts-
WE are doing our job- what about you?
