Re: I am stressing about the Quality Review

We had ours months ago, the reviewer held meetings and we discussed issues and needs in the school. She also took a walk through tour. The principal did bring her to sit in on a few classes but we were told ahead of time. It really wasn't a big deal.

Well in my school no one has been told on purpose....which I think is really cruel to do to us

Re: I am stressing about the Quality Review

We just had the QR this past week. We were ALL totally freaking out....but it turned out to be fine! We had to all compile a ton of data. It was sooo stressful and I was bringing home my conference binders and assessments each weekend. I was on the panel discussion (b/c I'm a new teacher) and it was okay. He asked us to define accountability, how we measure progress, and what improvements we would make to the school. Do you have any specific questions? I'll try and help you. Are they going to come to your classroom?

Re: I am stressing about the Quality Review

I defined accountability as me being responsible for the children's progress. As a teacher I assessed their starting point, their goals, and then the steps I have to take to help them reach those goals. He seemed to like the answer...we all basically said the same thing and he seemed happy.

As for improvements, we focused on writing. We suggested that there should be a writing continuim for each genre of writing. For example, in narrative writing the elements of a narrative would be listed and attached to the student's portfolio. The elements that a student has mastered would be chacked off, so that the teacher for next year would know. Then, the skills that need to be honed could be focused on- not the ones that they have already mastered.

Hope this helps a bit!!
