Why do teachers show resistance to change when they already have had the specific training? (Why do they only ask comprehension questions in a reading part of a test, even after their Bloom's Taxonomy training?)

Using essays written by students in a project group in 8th grade, we are going to discuss different academic levels within the same class.

Pınar İnal will have the booklets on the protocols be photocopied for the newcomers of our group.

Derya Muşkara asked us to consider this last topic as well. In the primary school, students are evaluated according to their own progress. But in fourth grade the system changes and they are tested on pass and fail grounds. This method can demotivate some of the students. We decided to talk about this issue as well.
