Watch the Joplin R-8 Board of Education meeting live at 7 p.m.
Did they say that the teachers will be able to train other teachers for cognitive coaching? You don't get to train others without going through more than the regular training.
We were looking at cognitive coaching or some such thing before Besendorfer killed it to put in the TLCs. Are these cognitive coaches going to receive a stipend for their efforts? If so, how much? And has this job been clearly defined and opened up for all, or is this another case of principals' pets being tagged? Keep it transparent, please, in both cost and in process. If twenty have already been identified (randomly?), will there be more at all levels? How did this random process happen--names pulled out of a hat?
A couple of things would be helpful:
ReplyDelete--broadcast on JET HD
--make the screen where we can see it

Using the Globe is a BAD idea. Lots of people have dropped it because it doesn't run the truth.
