Re: [LM_NET] IMPACT dilemma

["Shannon, Heather Rhydderch" <HRS0612@ECU.EDU>]

Our school administrators are considering going to the IMPACT model next year.  I 
am all for it.  I love technology and when I was in the classroom, I integrated 
technology as much as I possibliy could.  When I have mentioned going to the IMPACT 
model to teachers, their first reaction is, "You mean to tell me that I am going to 
lose a SPECIAL class?  This means that I will have a day without any breaks!"  
These teachers are not able to see the true benefits of the IMPACT model because 
they can't get past the fact that they will not have a break one day of the week.  
As a former classroom teacher myself, I can see their point.  Has anyone found a 
solution to this dilemma?
