She is a wonderful 2-D art teacher (was a top 5 finalist one year for DCPS TOY). I believe she applied for that position.

He was in charge of some arts foundation or something, so he definitely has zero clue what the reality of the average fine arts teacher is like in Duval. I think his LACK of experience is why Vitti hired him. If he'd hired an experienced arts educator, he/she would actually be fighting to restore quality arts education environments (i.e. not 50plus kids in a class) Obviously, that wouldn't fit into Vitti's plans. If Smith shrugged and appeared clueless it's because he really is! <br /> Those numbers are very real. I live with it every class, every day. You should see my line going to lunch. Or my pile of papers to grade. No, none of them could handle it.

I don't so much read as skin through them. 2. The discussion turned toward common planning and pacing and differentiatio. When I tried to argue the futility of differentiation and pacing/being on the same page on the same day, the principal and another AP shut me down faster than a school girl might shut down her date on prom night.
