@KsCommissioner letās š at the numbers
ā¶ļø KS requires 1,116 instructional hours
ā¶ļø Top 12 ranked states in education (@USNewsEducation) average 1,033 hoursāless than Kansas, depended on your school = 10/11 days of school
ā¶ļøDespite this, KS ranks 13th right behind those states

Kansas Education Commissioner Randy Watson urged districts to cancel breaks or extend the school year to make up for snow days. He is also proposing half-day summer school for young students who are struggling in reading and math.

So, if states with fewer hours rank higher, whereās the ROI in adding more time?
Is the issue really about hours, or is it about how that time is used? Before we start cutting breaks or stretching the calendar, maybe we should ask is it the seat time or quality instruction?

Donāt worry āthis is also my argument on how we need to start reallocating teacher workday time. After talking with a few state representatives it sounds like the window of opportunity for that policy to be changed is in the near future š¤ š

Zac Kitch and Trevor Fry, both members of the WAC leadership team, received a handwritten note from the man himself, Mr. @joecoles33.
They have definitely learned the value of being #uncommon student-athletes at Garden City High School!

ā¦& this is why I donāt want to talk about the teacher eval. system
Itās broken. Itās not supposed to be a got-cha & you have x weeks to fix it. if itās a skill it needs time to be coached and developed.
It would take admin to be apart of the PLC, panning & teaching process

Holding students to expectations isnāt unfair. Enforcing rules isnāt āpicking onā someone. The real issue is when accountability is mistaken for persecution.

Leaders have a ethical responsibility to be hard in those issues that are shown to affect student learning (Eaker & Keating 2012) š¤

THISā¦ teachers will be remembered not because they taught s.studies or math but b/c they cared about teaching the Ss their passion for their subject, gave Ss confidence in themselves as learners & as people, treated the student as a person, & instilled a love of learning -Hattie
