Classroom Size en-us 2020-02-02 19:08:45 UTC 2020-02-02 19:57:17 UTC hello@padlet.com escobar_amanda https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/hedaydjvqdhl/wish/439341261 https://www.pbs.org/makingschoolswork/sbs/sfa/lessons.html

Against them:
Critics of scripted programs worry that curriculums are too narrowly focused on the basics and teachers are being turned into robots rather than working as creative professionals. “A trained monkey could do this program,” says Janice Auld, president of the North Sacramento Education Association, about adopting a reading program in her district in California. As an experienced teacher she found the process of adopting her district’s program “humiliating and demeaning.”

For them:
Eric Smith, the superintendent responsible for success in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district in North Carolina, advocates the scripted strategy. He argues that in order to create change on a large scale, schools must get on the same page with their curriculum so that teachers know what is expected. He believes that because of the diversity of experience among teachers, especially in inner city schools, it is “the job of central administration…the job of the superintendent of schools to bring that kind of clarity to the classroom and give the teachers the strategies that will help them to be successful.”

Against:
"In order for students to succeed there needs to be more adults per student. The only way a class of 30 students with one teacher works is if every student has the same needs and that will never be a reality." -- Kristen Amber Holladay, Alpine School District

Against:
"In our school our kindergarten class size is 26 children, which is 52 children with two sessions to progress monitor. The expectations for the teachers are to teach a 3 hour block of literacy that doesn't include time for recess, computers or math. It also doesn't allow for time to help connect with students, especially ones that have very little time with parents." -- Lorri Case, Alpine School District

*Years that I have had 30 students with two ELA teachers
*Special Education students waivers to exceed the 10 maximum in an inclusion setting (loophole) 
*Disservice to all students 
*Both general education and special education
*Studies state 16 as a good number
*This year I have 19, 19, 17 because it is a small population
