The Committee had many discussions about making the adoption process inclusive for all teachers and fair to all schools. Receiving the Packard Foundation grant, which allows for increased teacher support systems, was a very important aspect of this program for me. They also pay for SAT 9 testing for all first-graders. Classroom test data will be shared with the Foundation. The grant from the Foundation is renewable, year by year, for a period of three years.
Every district is different.
Towards this purpose, we are structuring our Wednesday district meetings to allow teachers to discuss and share materials, ideas and ways of supporting one another. I think change always brings resistance and that change is hard. Title I bilingual assistants, and increasing allotted time spent on everyday math. Frustrated with these four major changes, many English mainstream and bilingual teachers agreed to split up English language-learners who had previously been concentrated in bilingual classes. After this period, most bilingual classes ceased to exist when the majority of parents opted to minimize disruption in their children's lives by keeping them in their assigned classrooms with the teachers and peers they had grown to enjoy.
