Delaware's teachers have started responding on the YELL Delaware blog - a forum that rivals the DOE/DSEA TELL survey project funded by RTTT. YELL invites readers to be unabashedly honest in sharing the needs respondents have identified as helpful to creating successful educational outcomes in the classroom.
So, Teachers, after you complete your TELL survey, take a gander at the YELL blog and make your NEEDS known to the public!
YELL Delaware Comment Rescues:
- Our principal is great, he helps us with the parents and defends us when we do the right thing for kids.The kids are a challenge in our school and trying to use Common Core not always the best way to deliver curriculum. The lessons are stale and scripted. Mr. Bedford gives us freedom to craft better plans, so for now everything is OK.
I also did my survey today online for the state. It was not very pertinent to my duties. - I like my PLC on the off weeks from the data coach. I think we get to help kids more when it’s just us teachers doing the planning. the data coach asks us to review old data for things we have already completed with the kids. Usually, it’s a waste of our time.
- We learned a long time ago to be self sufficient. That TELL Delaware survey isn’t going to help us, no matter what the DSEA or the DOE say.
