Gen X Teacher: Facts and Figures
http://generationxteacher.blogspot.com/2008/10/facts-and-figures.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. The US Department of Education published a document ( America's Educational Progress. 2008) outlining where each state and of course, our beloved city of DC is going in terms of academic achievement. I went straight to DC data and found out that our chart. Despite the encouraging data, I was flabbergasted by this chart:. This made me ponder:. If some teachers can’t make NCLB criteria how can we expect them to make students meet NCLB AYP requirements? Labels: Facts and Figures.

Gen X Teacher: November 2008
http://generationxteacher.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. A Joke at DCPS Educators' Expense. I was reading DC Education Blog. And found this link. Post accounted by Bill Turque. For some reasons I find this incident a very HILARIOUS JOKE. Except that the joke was on our top 3 "educational reform leaders" (or 3 Magi? At the expense of DCPS educators. Is NOT communicating part of the "REFORM"? And not providing AVAILABLE information means TRANSPARENCY? Fenty's Communication's Strategy: "Just Don't Pick Up the Phone.". Asked to commen...

Gen X Teacher: On Lying Leaders
http://generationxteacher.blogspot.com/2008/10/lying-leaders.html
Friday, October 24, 2008. I was on my routinary happy-go-lucky, blog-hopping mode when I stumbled a statement on. Acting Deputy Chancellor for Special Education Richard Nyankori. Sometimes it is willful on the part of some staff not to make it to meetings.". Please note on the word WILLFUL. While I take a mental note of the word BUL*SH*T. Definitely someone is lying. And please pass my mental note to him as well. Post on this one is a recommended MUST read.). The first year teacher. Hmmm let's HOLD THEM ...

http://generationxteacher.blogspot.com/2008/11/comments-on-comments-for-lindsey.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. Comment on Lindsey's Comment. I made a comment on Candi’s. This is the response I got from Lindsey:. To genx teacher,. So let's talk about what hindered your progress during the year of your faithful volunteerism with the WTU. What projects did you recommend? What activities did you particapte? How is it possible that in the democratic decision-making process/- the egos and powershifting (as you call it) can impede progress. Weren't you working with a group? I will not go into...

Gen X Teacher: New President, New Promise
http://generationxteacher.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-president-new-promise.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2008. New President, New Promise. PRESIDENT Barack Obama it is, my co-educators. I hope this will be the beginning of end when race/ethnicity will be used as an excuse not to succeed and achieve one's aspirations. Americans, especially educators. Excuses why one is limited solely based on the color of their skins. Today, in my book, marked the day when we became color blind. And I am glad we did. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I would go for WTU/DCPS proposed contact because of:.

Oyster Eater: What did I get myself into?: July 2008
http://oyster-eater.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Oyster Eater: What did I get myself into? This used to be my reflections on my teaching experiences. Now, it is reflections on life as a newlywed in a foreign country. Saturday, July 26, 2008. I finally found out that I will definitely be teaching the same grade next year. I doubt that fourth grade is the absolute. A different grade level when my planning, instructional, and management skills are fully developed. More to come on developments at my school soon. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. As DCPS teachers g...

http://includemetoo.blogspot.com/2009/05/move-over-here-comes-inclusion-dcps.html
Inclusion in the Classroom. Sharing ideas about how to teach children using both push-in and pull-out strategies. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Move Over - Here Comes Inclusion, DCPS! I will include more details about this meeting tomorrow, but now I am sleepy and in bed. June 2, 2009 at 3:53 PM. Did you gather any more details about inclusion for next year? My school is starting inclusion this fall, based on messages received from downtown, but I am wondering if there will be any systemic support for us?
