It’s a roller coaster experience for us. No sooner do we hear just this morning such a positive report from Cherie, after sharing in the difficulties Tina encountered last week, than we get a new new negative report from PLC member Kristen ND Wolf. Check this out:
I had a horrible experience with my admin yesterday where he basically said I wasn’t ready to lead or guide a student teacher because I lack the assessment pieces. He also discounted my 7 years of teaching in one comment, saying that only my experience in his school was worthy and valid in counting towards my prep to guide a student teacher. It was debilitating to hear that. I feel that the gains of my students are huge and noticeable this year because of the Invisibles. I am looking for feedback from the group about how to educate this man about the what and hows of what we do everyday. I want to show him my abilities in a way that helps my students shine in his eyes….. lofty goals! Right now, he doesn’t get it and he needs help to know the truth!
