I wish I COULD be there for that presentation!
Interestingly, the research on schools where administrators (or other supervisors) can “hire and fire” at will indicates that what happens is, young teachers leave. This is one of the big problems with charter schools. There are a few reasons for this:
— a principal with a “vision” (read: “I know what’s best”) will inevitably end up having major conflicts with many staff members, most of whom will have more– and more recent– experience with specific subjects than the principal does.
— newer teachers who have enough stress already and who have their classrooms policed by Adminz On Accountability Missionz burn out/leave due to added stress.
— the end result of accountability Measurez for teachers– as for kids– is that work gets narrowed to something simple, shallow, stupid and reducible to mere Numberz.
So while I in principle think, ya, ya don’t teach well, ya get booted, I’m not sure how this would actually work in the real world. What is the road to Hell paved with again?
yes! yes! Good thing, Chris, is that many charter schools are unionizing now. At least they are in Chicago. My current school is a charter that is connected through a management network to 13 other charters in the city. We are busy negotiating a contract to unionize. It’s gonna happen and I’m super excited about being a part of it.
I second that: badass!
I so want to move to Denver now. Receiving actual training for TCI that I don’t have to spend grant-writing time or personal money for? I’m there.
