YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
Yeah! You go, Tina!
I have more. Tina sent me an email just a few hours ago, and in it there was this:
…a kid is absent today and her friend says she wants to FaceTime in to Spanish!…
I have heard this happen with other teachers. Last year a kid in Dehlhi had to go to Japan for a week and we skyped him in. Hmmm. I guess he didn’t want to miss the lecture on object pronouns. Oh wait, I don’t teach object pronouns in that way anymore. I teach them the real way, via correctly spoken language. Sorry about the snark. No, I’m not.
Beautiful! What an amazing feedback.
Well, of course it’s this way. I’m glad the parents see and value what Tina is doing for her students.
Uh oh! Tina’s got the snowball rolling down the mountain, that is, Mt. Hood!
I sure hope so. The principal is a small-minded rubric lover who has swallowed the Danielson framework hook, line, and sinker.
Congrats Tina. Community support is awesome and this email can go right into your folder of parent and student testimonies. I’m really low key right now but I am glad that so far my students, admin and a few parents are supportive. JUST NOW, a student just gave me a star with my name on it. She also gave me a thank you card for thanksgiving. Let these blessings keep coming and help us in our mental health both inside and outside the class.
Tina, I assume you have seen Laurie Clarq’s Danielson for CI? When my school had that push, I gave my copies to my adminstrator.

Yes I told her about it but she assured me that she had had a week of training on the rubric and that she did not need my assistance. (Though I hear that Danielson never visited a language class before developing that rubric…)
Doesn’t matter whether she considered Language Teaching or not. The Danielson Framework concerns with Explicit Teaching, not Implicit Acquisition, so it doesn’t really have anything to do with us. Might as well judge dogs on their ability to do math. Just sayin’.
But just in case you get flak engage your adminz in discussion with this:

Even Charlotte Danielson thinks people are misusing her rubric…
