I often joke with fri...I am a school psychologist. I often joke with friends that my new mantra these days are Jerry McGuire inspired, "Show meeeee the dataaaaaa!" "Help ME, help YOU!" All thanks to the slow shift to the RtI model in special ed (which in theory is nice, but in trying to create a viable shift toward, is not so nice...what with those snarly hairballs). Talk about accountability is moot when there the funding isn't there. And in fact, the current and prior politically initiated accountability models in place have never been fully funded by the powers that be in order to ensure said student achievement. Whats more, in recent years public education has suffered deep cuts due to the state of the economy... Though, the rhetoric continues nonetheless, though we now have the expectation of doing more with even less. Can you say "burnout?" BTW, I Like this post : )Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017619331927690093noreply@blogger.com
