Case: Professionalism while disagreeing with colleagues
I have been working with a group of other teachers creating projects for my county since my state recently eliminated our standards of learning test and is requiring alternative assessments. We have worked for two months to create one project. We have all been really excited about what we have created. I went to a training on rubrics today and realized that our project does not align to our standards or the cognitive level that the standards expect. I feel that it is important to share what I have learned with my colleagues so that we do not attempt to submit project results to the Department of Education at the end of the year and have poor results. However, I also fear that my colleagues will not be open to hear what I will have to say because we have worked so long and hard on what we have. But I also do not want to give a project to my students that is not aligned. Plus, the county requires that we all implement the same project in the county. How should I proceed?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely bring the fact that the projects/rubrics do not align with the standards or cognitive levels because that is the entire point of the projects. Personally, I would develop about 3-5 ways that you could improve the projects that you have already created in order to help them become aligned. By providing the problem and possible solutions all at once, your colleagues are less likely to feel as though you are attacking the work that has been created and more likely to see that you are just trying to make the necessary improvements that are required. |
