Case: 160 day calendar
A school has decided to go to a 160 day calendar. Some teachers feel that this time limit will hinder some students with their progress in school. Other teachers have expressed how much they have enjoyed having a longer summer and shorter school year. The system has chased power standards to be taught at each grade level. Should the teachers who disagree with this decision express how they feel now, or should they wait to see how students perform on state assessments?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe that the teachers should feel safe to express their opinions, but go into the year with positive expectations. If they go into the school year disgruntled it will effect how the students respond to the new schedule and the new standards. I would also like to know if the school day will be longer or if it will stay the same. That will also effect how much can get done in a "regular" school day. Teachers will also want to know how much planning time they will be given to account for the shorter school year. All of their concerns are valid and as long as all stakeholders reflect at the end of the school year everyone can move forward in a positive. |

| Comments: I agree. At the end of the day we are responsible for how much our students learn and if we go into the year with a negative outlook due to not liking the new schedule it could alter the way we teacher. I would say to keep an open mind and give the new school year a chance. If it ends up benefiting students more that is all that matters. |
