Rat,

Whoever it is better bring some guards with him because Alcoa's guard play was horrific last year. Looked like all they had left after the coach ran everyone off was a few JV kids. I know the big kid is back and he was an All-Region player but they struggled mightily to get him the ball in good positions. In 4-AA you better have good guard play or you will get exposed quickly and last year Alcoa just didn't consistently have the guard play to play with Fulton & A-E.

I thought Alcoa's guards were pretty good last year.  They can't hang with AE and Fulton's transition game! And wow Bearden's coach interviewed?

Big hush name to watch here is Jeremy Parrott from Bearden. May be a little nervous about what may be coming down the line for him after leaving his studs in all year even when up 30+ points or being exposed without all the best collective talent in East TN (or arguably the state).

Parrott has not interviewed and will not interview at Alcoa. The rumblings i am hearing suggest he is feeling confident and loves the group of players he has coming up.

Parrott didn’t interview. It will be interesting who they hired.

We shall see, insiders suggest differently. Maybe he wont take it but there has been discussion according to people very close and inside the situation.

I believe it will come down to what teaching job gets approved as to who gets the job. Anyone know what Parrott teaches?

Based on who I've talked to I think they are trying to get a teaching position open for the top choice and that's why it's a taking a little longer. If that doesn't happen it will be offered to the person that is certified for the position they have open.

RTI isn’t a made up class. It’s been a part of Knox County curriculum for at least 5 years now. It identifies kids with issues in math and reading and it helps the students. I don’t agree with the emphasis on collecting data points but I’ve been an RTI Tier 3 and 4 math teacher for the last 5 years. My state certification is in special education. 

I know what RTI is. and the teachers that teach each RTI have a job, however the instructional coach is basically an assistant principle that has no responsibilities. at least at the 4 schools I have been at. they do nothing except go to meetings in nashville that tax payers pay for

What is Tier 4? We only have Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.

At our school it’s technically called Math T4 it basically allows SPED students in the RTI class. In other words collecting data points.

I know what RTI is. I'm a certified SPED teacher. I have just never heard of Tier 4. 

Tier 3 (SPED)

Tier 2 (25%-10%

Tier 1 (general classroom instruction)

Alcoa gets a good one in Ryan Collins from Morristown East. Good hire here, has done well at MoEast.

Different competition at Alcoa. Be curious to see what happens when playing teams other than IMAC conference teams.
