[etni] Re: Bagrut training courses, e.g. for the new Literature module

Just to say that I entirely agree with Ariella re: informing teachers about 
in-training courses before their timetable has been scheduled for lthe coming 
year.  There are many teachers who wanted to do the Literature training course 
this year before implementing it in school next year.  However, as the 
timetable has only been published now, these teachers will be unable to take 
the course.  I include myself.
 
Let's hope that the timetable will be published ahead of time in June 2009 for 
the school year 2009 - 2010.

From: Ariella Kopels <mckopels@xxxxxxxxx>Subject: Re: etni Digest V6 #251 I 
would like to make a suggestion to the powers that be concerning the Bagrut 
training courses (NBA, CAT and now the Literature module). Could someone please 
get their act together and decide on the days and times for these courses 
BEFORE the school year starts? Someone knew that there was going to be a change 
in the modules - there was a pilot, so there aren't any surprises, so why 
couldn't the dates be set in the summer when we could do something about it. I 
know that our regional advisor is trying to set up a course for our area,and I 
appreciate her efforts, but my schedule is set and the school is not about to 
make any major changes now that the year has begun. I'm sure that I'm not the 
only teacher who can't participate because of scheduling problems. This is not 
the first time that the ministry has decide to require a course, but tells us 
after the fact. As a teacher I am expected to plan in advan
 ce. I know what I am going to be teaching this year. Why can't the MOE hold to 
the same standards as the teachers? Just some food for thought for the future- 
Happy New Year,Ariella Kopels    ------------------------------
