Reflections

Abstract

Introduction:  House Bill 72.  Teacher Competency Test.  No pass - No play.  Formal and informal observations.  Career ladder.  In September as school was starting and these phrases were popping into my thoughts, I began to wonder why I had committed myself to introducing a new program into an already crammed curriculum and schedule.  What was I letting myself in for?  Could I make time for Analytic Teaching and still cover all the concepts and materials on which the children are tested?  It was going to be a challenge for me and a decision that, initially, I would question time and time again.
