Continuing on my thoughts regarding efficiencies and organizational development...
Is this really the way education works?
Who is doing the work? Who decides how the work is to be done?
I’d like to think education is much more efficient than this. Yet, my experience and the shared experiences of other educators tells me we have a long way to go before any meaningful change is achieved.
Professional development, in-service, assessments, testing, social-emotional learning...
All these things hold value. Only, the seem to come from the top down. Meetings and trainings should be focused on craft and culture. All the mechanics can be shared in a slide deck or posted on the staff intranet.
