July 14 was no ordinary school-free summer Thursday for early-grades elementary teachers in Austin.
On that day, educators working with students in kindergarten through third grade needed to turn in– the unpaid 60-hour course for teachers, mandated by the Texas Legislature to improve reading achievement across the state. Teachers anticipated the deadline that week, and even potential last-minute course work. But what they didn't expect was that all of their cohort leaders, who advise them and grade their materials, would quit.
An Odom Elementary School teacher, who wished to remain anonymous in fear of repercussions from the school district, was a member of the first cohort of educators to go through the Reading Academies. She received a resignation message on July 13, and shortly after read a message from her cohort leader confirming not only her resignation from the district, but that of all of her fellow cohort leaders.
The Odom teacher started the Reading Academies in the beginning of the 2021 school year and spent her winter break working on the course in order to finish in February before her spring break and summer plans. She has yet to receive results or feedback for her work, and remains unsure if she has to redo the course.
