It's Like She Reads My Blog

Friday I had to go to a meeting with my IST. I tried to be Zen about it when she handed me a paper with clip-art and typed phrases that say, "I Was Wondering..." that she filled in with things like, "where are your content standards?" and "how come you don't have words on the word wall yet?"
(For those of you not "in the know," a content standard is something like this:

• 6.3.A.1 Locate places and describe human and physical characteristics of those places using geographic tools)

I continued my inner-chanting and meditation as she told me to write out The Entire Content Standard out on the board every day(for each grade. So, three objectives, three homeworks, three warm-ups and three content standards written on the board. Hopefully I will never have to use the board for anything, ever.) I took deep breaths and counted to ten when she told me to laminate FORTY(!!!) sheets of paper about content standards and put them on the wall. (Because that's what "they" will be looking for. They? "They" have never, ever been in my room...much less wanted me to have every single content standard posted.)

But I really couldn't take it anymore when she said," You're doing good. I just really need pacifics. Pacific! Pacific! Pacific! It's what 'they' will want. Make sure you have pacific content standards, pacific MYP standards, and very pacific lesson plans."

Now, if I didn't know for a fact that you can't search for this blog and find it, that you only know about it if I tell you the address, and that she's not that smart, I would swear she was mocking me.
