I’m curious. I’m responsible for T PD at our school. Why would they do that? I.mean I understand the whole standardised teaching in US now; but why putting words in your mouth? What are they trying to measure? How did it go? What were the outcomes or feedback?
It ins very dangerous that the US educational system is going to drilling teachers and students what would the rat of the world looking up at US education do? Very disturbing.
