Our stupid Board thinks she reports to them by the time they figure out who her real Boss is it will be to late for them....and our board is still going to be taken over by the State.paig55https://www.blogger.com/profile/08204261176262813485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-48978604751864564172010-07-30T23:59:30.111-04:002010-07-30T23:59:30.111-04:00this seems to be an accurate assessment. she visi...this seems to be an accurate assessment. she visited my classroom when i worked in district 16. contrary to accounts of lyles being friendly and warm and smiling, she was cold and impersonal. she did acknowledge my students or myself, instead walking around my classroom looking at the bulletin boards. she did not bother to observe the lesson or engage the students. she wore sunglasses the entire time, too. her criticism to my principal which was passed down to me was that i had neglected to post the learning standards on the bulletin boards. ?!?! as a second year teacher i expected more constructive criticism than that. she forever stuck out to me as someone who did not care at all about children or improving educational standards. i was happy to see her move on from district 16. it completely astounds me that she has moved on and up. what the hell are people hiring her thinking? have you SEEN her in action and interact with teachers and children, the people she is directly impacting? i guess it's been almost ten years and i would hope she has grown as a person and professionally...otherwise, all i have to say is good luck delaware. hope she doesn't stick around too long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-16790713684962896502007-08-31T09:41:00.000-04:002007-08-31T09:41:00.000-04:00I asked a teacher who worked for a year in Region ...I asked a teacher who worked for a year in Region 8 (while Marcia Lyles was in charge) about Marcia Lyle's "philosophy of education". In other words, what did she consider important to improve the education of students in Region 8. My friend responded that her only philosophy of education was "herself". How she could move higher in the bureaucracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
