I sent anecdotals , in total between 6 ,000 and 8,000 words, of Danielson-related abuses and absurdities to UFT Veep Fortino in 2011-2012.<br /><br />Nothing. UFT high command *loves* Danielson. For some mysterious reason. It's exceedingly strange.<br /><br />Re. lesson plan: it's *worse* than that, actually. We had to write-out the NYS Standards being addressed PLUS the Common Core Standards being addressed. On every plan, every lesson, every period. <br /><br />One teacher got rated ineffective on planning because ... even though he/she did all of the above, he/she failed to also write-out the various IEP goals being addressed for each student by the lesson. (D75 Special ed class; they ALL have ieps.)<br /><br />Danielson.... as implemented by the DOE ... is a completely portable, fully self-contained , idiot-proof ( in the sense that any idiot can check the boxes and cut and paste comments into them) Hostile Work Environment. In fact, that's the attraction of this particular teacher observation "system".<br />I blogged about it here:<br />paulvhogan.wordpress.com/paul hogannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-53528623694421339322013-06-16T16:53:38.072-04:002013-06-16T16:53:38.072-04:00I get your point, and agree completely.
