OK, I heard it and I will stop. No more videos. No more lyrics. No more forced allegories. But the days will still be counted down!
The Crack Team heard you and I apologize. We hear at SBSB wish to thank those that filled took the time to share what they thought of the blogging the last few weeks.
So today's topic? The continuing fallacy of Danielson. We were told this is good. That administration will be more accountable. But, and this is why Danielson is so easy to get around for certain administrators. People do and will lie. Pathologically.
My lesson, which the top teacher in the school assisted me with, was reading Spoon by Amy Krause Rosenthal. Better, it was direct from Into Reading right smack off the DOE's website. The objective was...
Demonstrate understanding of key ideas and details in a text by asking and answering questions.
So far, so good.
I got ineffective for strand 3c for, ready for this? That after asking a question and getting my responses in return I would model and show in the text how one found the answer.
It was noted...
"For example, when the students struggled to provide an answer, the teacher encouraged them to go back and lift the text."
I give up. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Is this not what I stated in the lesson plan. Is this not what I have heard for years about drilling the students to go back in the text to help them? /facepalm
As long as your overall lesson was rated effective, that shit don't matter. It's all a game.
ReplyDeleteIt's a game that wreaks havoc on innocent teachers. Yet keeps the psycho-pharmaceutical industry in business. There is a conspiracy theory I believe in!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta have that chick teacher from Connecticut who teaches in the Bronx with a fake accent on your show again!
ReplyDeleteWasn’t my show. It was hers.
