Tutoring: Week 3

Sort of random thoughts about the process this far:

-I am hearing rumors that certain teachers are not doing the tutoring as they are supposed to. Some teachers are doing it daily without fail, and for that I am thankful.

-I feel helpless to correct the situation. I would love to be able to go around and check on the tutoring while it is in progress, but I have my own group to tutor.

-My administrator questioned me last week about the teachers there were not tutoring, but yet again, failed to back me up by checking into these teachers himself. I understand that the responsibility is mine, but if I am unable to step out of my classroom to follow up, how is project suppose to succeed?  Our AP promised me she go around a check each classroom for the tutoring, but she too has gone MIA.

-I feel very isolated in this project, and that saddens me. I still very much believe in its possibilities of success. With the never-ending budget cuts, all after-school tutoring is gone. When will the other staff members realize that its now or never??
