Another teacher has lost a job:
Hi Ben:
I’m out of a job. My school situation was classic – department head who wanted to institute change and introduced us to CI, then when I embraced it, she punked me in the observation because she didn’t recognize what I was doing. I failed to front-load her abundantly like a child so she could see how great it was going. Anyway, when I challenged the observation, that was the end of my future there.
However, I truly believe that CI and TPRS etc. is the greatest thing to happen to my career. It was amazing how easy the most difficult classes became and when I strayed into traditional drill and kill style how much more difficult the classes were. So, I know that I will get to use this wonderful approach again in some way.
Thank you so much for your support and I will keep reading and learning from you guys!
