We may start off the year focusing on one new program to implement, then 2 months later a grander, greater, and shinier program pops up, and all of a sudden all the work you did implementing that old program into your classroom is over, because now we are focusing on the new one. And we will be doing classroom observations next week and need to see it implemented. This is a REQUIREMENT.' How can you even see any student growth if you are just bouncing around through different programs It is senseless."
