The presentation in the morning about remediation was very similar to the EDL 538. It was interesting to listen to a case that was taken from start to finish. The problem continues to be the amount of time that can be devoted to this part of the job. When I asked my administrator how many people he has put on intervention plans in his 10 years was only 3. Out of those 3, all were let go or resigned. It seems these plans are mainly used to get rid of teachers rather than improve their teaching.
It was interesting to see how the counselor programs in the state of Illinois are changing their role in education. I am interested to find if Iowa is also improving their programs as well. From what was discussed it is almost as if the counselor role is being redesigned to fit as a new educator with curriculum, participation in the class, continued assessment of data etc.
