#PCeduchat Carol Salva, Education Coach & EL Teacher, Houston, Tx. Word that describes a literacy teacher: Facilitator

Q1: What constraints are Ts facing that have led to the lack of autonomy in our schools? #PCeduchat https://t.co/LSfF6uvqcz

FirstAtBat Jun 23 @ 7:10 PM EDT

A1: Time and a lot of focus on test taking strategies. #pceduchat

@FirstAtBat Had a feeling we'd see a response about the tests, unfortunately :( So much time spent teaching "how 2 take the test" #PCeduchat

MsSalvac Jun 23 @ 7:12 PM EDT

A1: lack of practical support. #PCeduchat

xxxmammamiaxxx Jun 23 @ 7:12 PM EDT

A1: SLOs foist upon teachers, not teacher created. #PCeduchat

brianrozinsky Jun 23 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1 External constraint: systems & expectations that aren't friendly to indiv growth. Internal constraint: go-with-flow compliance #PCeduchat

PledgeCents - Moderator Jun 23 @ 7:13 PM EDT

@MsSalvac Agreed - in what ways specifically? Supplies? Pull out / push in small groups? #PCeduchat

PledgeCents - Moderator Jun 23 @ 7:14 PM EDT

@xxxmammamiaxxx YES. Not teacher created = not always what is best for Ss at that time. Ts know their Ss best. #PCeduchat

PledgeCents - Moderator Jun 23 @ 7:15 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky Unfortunately this is so true... Ss have individual needs. Ts feel pushed along. #PCeduchat
