In regards to the remediation process, my concern would be similar to Laurie's in that which teacher do you choose to take on that daunting responsibility? I would think that it would be extremely difficult for a consulting teacher to be a friend, and then have to be the person to make sure that they are following the remediation plan and meeting deadlines. I would think that it would be easier to find a teacher from a different building that is not closely involved with the teacher.
In terms of the process involved in interviewing, I could see that in our group there were so many individual perspectives that it took much discussion, and one major one:)), until we finally reached a consensus. I can see why it might be easier to have a smaller panel for an interview session.
I find it interesting that the school code has changed for the role of counselor; however, there are many districts that are still following the older job description. I think that having one more faculty member to contribute to the vision and academic goals for the school is very beneficial. It is a detriment to the students that schools are not following the new job description and making it work for the best interest of the students.
