(forgot to finish this). Either way I question whether I can still market myself as a “teacher” next year once I’m in this IEP chair role without being disingenuous. I just think the way we have it set up makes you very easily disillusioned and eventually, most of the even more experienced teachers I know lose their idealism and might not have the best motivations (just a job, collecting a check). At the same time, does motivation and intent matter if you’re still serving and doing a good job? I’m not sure.
