There was a meeting today after school. Some of the teachers were getting promoted. In Moldova, there are different levels of teachers. These teachers were going from a lower level to level two. At the start of the meeting, the director read off the names of everyone who was moving up a didactic level. Then, for the first two people, other teachers gave oral recommendations for the person based on the criteria for being promoted. The next three got up and gave speeches about what they had done and why that made them worthy of being promoted. After each person spoke the rest of the teachers voted on whether or not they supported the person being promoted. At least that is what I think they were voting on. My school director was speaking in Romanian and I didn't understand everything. Along with the director, there was also an inspector there. I think he was probably from the ministry of education in the district I am in. Overall, the meeting lasted two hours. At the end, the inspector gave out a questionnaire for the teachers to fill out. It basically asked them to say how they feel at school, whether they have the resources they need to implement the new curriculum, and whether they are doing so. It also asked whether or not the school administration is providing enough assistance. Again, the form was in Romanian so I may not have understood everything on it. Lucky Romanian has a lot of cognates with English.
There are only 4.5 weeks left in the school year and hopefully there will be some interesting end-of-the-year festivities.
