Just because it is a reform..we do not have to like it or even find it
valuable...and also I am in no way complaining to you on a personal
level...nor as a "body"..I was sharing views and actually praising your
enthusiasm.Thanks.Janette

The internal assessment is part and parcel of the new bagrut "Meaningful
Learning" reforms. So sanctions and complaints need to be with the Minister
of Education and the Mankalit NOT with the English inspectorate.

Hi Adele...When teachers as dedicated as you teach literature I am
certain the students will gain.However, having an internal project presents
problems such as copying from other students and other issues that
unfortunately arise when things are checked in ternally.I believe that in
England there are hardly any internal exams for this very reason.I strongly
supported the litetature exam.I have no confidence that the literature as
it stands now is reliable...students for example can end up with
90%....this is totally inflated and seems to me to have no relation of any
real ability.Thanks for sharing.Janette

âDear Janette,
You may love the HOTS or hate them, love the literature or hate it. But
as someone who has been in the field for a while, what I can tell you is
that until the program, MANY MANY English teachers were teaching textbooks
and unseens, and now ALL teachers are teaching literature.
Teachers who always loved and taught literature, are another issue, but
they were in the minority. But I get a LOT of positive feedback from
teachers who were scared to teach literature in the past, who felt that
they had not been trained to teach it properly. Now thanks to the program
and the course, have grown to love it - and I do not believe they are just
saying thatâ. If the program is lightened, in a way that does not kill it
off completely, then we will ALL benefit. But it is wiped off the map, we
will ALL be a lot poorer (especially our students). But change can't
happen unless there is communication. Sanctions and non-communication will
not solve anything.

Adele

I think seriously we do not realise how lucky we are that we have a
union
to save the chronic approach that is going on with literature.As a great
lover of teaching literature I beieve the whole approach of internal
testing and absurd HOTS...is not even cool! ..so eventually when it all
changes I beieve....you will be all mostly happier...and you can talk to
your partners again Barry!...Janette

I'LL TURN YOU INTO IR-GOON
My biggest problem with Ran Erez' instructions is that they are so
vague concerning the literature programs. What does it mean "stop
handling modules B, D, F"??? Does it mean stop teaching? Or maybe
teaching but not testing? Or testing but not posting ? It seems that
each school has interpreted it differently.
I wonder whether anyone has actually stopped teaching literature all
together.
