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!)
Unfortunately, teachers concerns are not always taken into consideration or addressed even when spoken. Of course, they should state their concerns, but everything we do is based on data. In order to support their opinions, they will need to show data about the effect on students. It may not be possible to do this until after the results of the state assessments have been received. |

| Comments: I don't think that this response fully addressed a good, reasonable solution to this issue. Basically saying it's beyond teacher's control isn't constructively providing any type of solution to this problem. |

| Comments: I see the importance of data. But the assessment might not work the first year because it's new so the data would be glitched. It would take a couple of years to see improvements. |
