If only MCPSS would adopt some of Google's ideas. Imagine if the central office staff came to teachers and said, "What can we do to help you do your job better?"
Yea, I can't imagine that either.
How much time to the curriculum directors spend listening to the needs of classroom teachers? There is a curriculum director for the major disciplines at the middle and high school level. This should allow the curriculum directors to provide help on teaching specific topics and provide resources aimed at meeting the needs of specific courses. I have never seen such assistance.
My interaction with curriculum directors includes me providing information that could easily be obtained via STI and denied requests for tests students can write on. There have been some bright spots over the years, but so much more could be done with these curriculum director positions.
Maybe I'll send a copy of What Would Google Do? to the COW
