I am curious what a “Teacher Consultant” actually is. Is that a alternative way of saying “Educational Consultant” so that our school system doesn’t look bad?
According to some googling: an “Educational consultant advise K-12 school districts on how to integrate technology into the classroom. They design and manage higher education and professional development programs for K-12 teachers at universities and colleges. And they help companies design products for teachers.”
I think right now technology is fairly integrated considering all the kids are doing internet based classes. I’m not sure why we are worrying about changing the school educational tech. when last I heard there wasn’t a hard plan for reopening the schools. I’ve heard some talk about a 25% lower grades.. then 50%… etc build up over time.. (which seems silly starting with the younger kids who don’t understand social distancing where as the older kids do and can) but I haven’t heard that it was the confirmed plan.
Well, here is hoping Superintendent Helber has a grand plan. Nothing is more important than educating the children.
