My principal allows other teachers to place students in my classes without any input from me including data or plain old common professional courtesy. What would you do if that happened to you?

Hi, I would keep a log . Also, I would also send out an email to the teachers/ grade levels serviced and clearly state/ define your program and let them know what information you need in order to help these students who enter your program. Do this in an amicable manner. I would also cc: your administration so that everyone is on the same page (black and white). In this manner, everyone has been notified of your expectations and procedures that you have clearly defined.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much!

Have you discussed this with principal? Use your expertise to explain why that is counter productive.

Unfortunately, he does not listen and just allows core content teachers to do what they what with regard to placing students. He is more interested in pleasing the masses than doing what is right. It has been like this for years, so my hands are tied. (I have been the object of his wrath, when I questioned him on this.)

Do you have an MTSS (Multi tier support system) process in place. We have a team that reviews referrals to intervention. Teachers have to show what they’ve done in class first, collect data and then submit to team. We then make a decision about possible interventions needed. We only have 1 intervention specialist. We can’t see everyone. So decisions based on data are needed. We also use this for behavioral referrals as well. Parents are notified and brought in for a meeting with the teacher to discuss concerns and have input on next steps. Maybe show your principal some of the RTI research.

I am currently one of two reading teachers at the high school I work in and three in the district, which consists of two high schools. I think I would be more effective, and it would would a) make more of a difference and b) be more enjoyable teaching at a k-6 school. I have an MA in reading K-12 so as long as it’s reading, I can teach at an elementary school. I tutor after school from my house for kids in the younger grades. The 2nd grader I’m currently tutoring went from an F to an A- in just

I am looking for ideas for a high school intervention class with students reading at PP-4th. I am a brand new teacher and have never taught intervention but we are extremely short staffed. I inherited the class mid-last semester and the former teacher had no framework whatsoever. I'm pulling grade level texts and trying to work on reading fluency and comprehension but don't feel like what I'm doing is effective, and the students are not very engaged. Any great resources I should check out?

We have a large unused professional library that includes a variety of authors, topics, and lots of the scholastic teaching resource books. Most are more than 5 years old, some much older. Some multiple copies of titles that were book studies over the years. No one is using these books and we need the space. I hate to just dump them in a trash bin. After setting them out for people to pick through at school, what can be done with these materials?
