1/14 🧵 NYT op Ed today covered the crisis in education.
I was an award winning teaching at one of the highest achieving schools in the nation for 23years, And yet I left public education earlier than planned and walked away from thousands of dollarsnytimes.com/live/2024/04/0… 2/14 My former school gave teachers with little or no agency over their daily work and admin will try to justify their rules and policies as protecting teachers or students but they are really protecting themselves.Feels like schools are being run by lawyers. @c_j_pascoe calls

1 For anyone trying to understand why young people are struggling so much (@Literature_Lady @Edu_Historian ), here is how @stevensonhs administration has been grading students since before the pandemic as early as 2012! The crisis has been coming, but Covid made it worse. @ASCD 2 The Stevenson Administration (like Troy Gobble, Eric Twadell and Anthony Reibel) has travelled around the country with Solution Tree consulting to promote these ridiculous grading practices. I say ridiculous because they are not research based or peer-reviewed. #atAssessment

ED thread-
To be clear, @stevensonhs your assessment is not working and has not been working for years. #atAssessment @SolutionTreeAR This assessment (known as EBR at my school) has eroded study skills, and damaged work ethic while contributing to student stress. And this assessment has eroded trust in the faculty while burning us out. Faculty feel that their professional integrity has been compromised and ethically feel that they are going against what they have been trained to do and what they believe is right. #atAssessment #edchat

A thread about the awful state of education in my school @stevensonhs And an apology to teachers nationally who have been forced to conform to the flawed practices that my district has promoted. 1/19Teachers - I want to apologize for the way my district has promoted it's flawed assessment practices. I am only speaking out now because after 25 years, I have made the decision to resign because the grading is pedagogically unsound and bad for kids.
