femmocrat's JournalThank you very much, madfloridian! Lots of good information there!
We have not been properly prepared and yet here we are in the throes of this hell. It is beyond complicated for teachers and administrators alike. We are all running around trying to implement something that just about no one has a complete grasp on.... OJT, I guess. Too darn bad that peoples' careers are on the line because of it. 
I have taught for almost 30 years plus subbing for about 10 more. Yet I have to be evaluated like a student teacher. Plus, the framework is not even applicable to my subject area (art). It is demeaning and demoralizing.
Don't know about Marzano.
We didn't even get a book, just some printed outlines. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I spent about 3 hours today on the "pre-conference" paperwork. This is worse than student teaching. Plus we have to do it on our "free" time. 
Tell me about Charlotte Danielson, please.
We are being evaluated using her framework. Who the hell is (was) she and why is she torturing me like this? My guess is she is some repuke darling.
