Walcott and bloomberg go on and on and on about how they want to hire the best teachers in the nyc classrooms. But, the fair student funding formula forces principals to hire the cheapest educators and not the best educators!!!!!!!!!!! Any questions?

Our union should only endorse a candidate who is committed and supports the
elimination of the “fair student funding formula” that not only discriminates
against the hiring of senior teachers but forces principals to hire the
“cheapest” and not the”best teachers” for their school and that is what I call
“students last….always” when schools are hamstrung by the unfair “fair student
funding formula” -
I’m not going to spend time justifying my position as a high school teacher. I’ve got my license and I’ve put in my years.
I’m just saddened that anyone who doesn’t agree with everyone else is demonized. What ever happened to healthy debate? Devil’s advocate? Talking about ideas? Should I simply regurgitate your ideas back to you?

Norm, get the word out not to respond to this “phony teacher realism” person who is probably a paid blogger from either bloomy or rhee or some of those other goons….

C.R. D-120 states the following: “School buildings are not public forums for purposes of community or political expression.”
The chancellor is the furthest away from “ethical failing” and the closest to double standard.
Any chapter leader that inadvertently violates the C.R. D-120 will pay a fine. If I remember, last year a teacher was fined for using the DoE email to inform the members that he was running for chapter leader. Yet, this chancellor used his position of power to unethically convince principals, many who don’t belong in the leadership position, to uphold Bloomberg’s infamous legacy.
Do you really think this chancellor’s behavior and his intention is considered “an ethical failing”? -
How about NO raise for the last 4 years I taught? Does that do it for ya?

Regent Young, who visted the multi-school Beach Channel campus, expressed displeasure that the schools on the campus rarely spoke with each other and the funds provided to the schools varied significantly from school to school … also, apparently as a result of sequestration a number of agency-funded social workers were removed from the campus without prior notice or the replacement of their services.

The Department has been convening these meetings for a number of years – in the past they offered broadway theatre tickets for attendees – the meetings were an opportunity to roll out the Instructional Expectations document for the following school year. To give a “compensation day” is a “benefit,” statutes prohibit the offering of a “benefit” in exchange for a behavior, i.e., attending the meeting. Probably not a violation of statute – although clearly an ethical failing.

I have to say that I am extremely disappointed to learn the Math for America is involved with this effort.
They have a good reputation in NYC but it is not going to be helped by getting involved with the APPR if it is using VAM.

224 more days of this faux-chancellor and his puppet master. I am sure he will have a nice, cushy, well-paid job waiting for him at Bloomberg LLP. Maybe he can spy on people. Oh wait, they already have people doing that.

Can you get a piece of the pie? How about raises every year you work?

Good Lord! So the teachers who teach kids to READ AND WRITE are not worthy of a stipend?! Good luck in the future job force without those skills, kiddos…. #wtf #NYSED

The entire building of Bronx Regional complex (which is where the schools are located) does not have metal detectors or any type of scanning. Additionally, Stromberg Satellite Academy only accepts students with more than 15 credits, while ROADS Bronx II only accepts students with less than 15 credits. I believe this is what differentiates them.

Another hair brained scheme designed to make money for SUNY and some opportunistic education leeches. In order to apply you need 4 years of teaching under your belt. Really? I mentored plenty of teachers in my 32 years for free. Can i get a slice of this pie? Unbelievable. The idea that teachers always need “remediation” is really insulting. Just give all teachers a raise…and get out of the classroom Governor!!
-
Oh, I just checked. You’re an ed deformer. Now I get it. And Wendy Kopp is a hack who chases money and politics over education.
-
And I guess when you get paid for Danielson you are also subjected to having to listen to a political assault on teacher unions.
-
Dennis Walcott can give one good reason not to write publicly: DOE lawyers will try to get you fired if they can find something to hang you on. Read ed notes on

The highly effective rating according to APPR will be closely linked to the growth scores that are statistically unreliable as pointed out, ironically, by john Ewing who was quoted in the press release supporting these bonuses.
-
Instead of a stipend, teachers are long-overdue for a raise. Give teachers their due raises.
Once again the governor, the educrats and the politicos are pitting teachers against teachers because of their teaching licenses. -
Tommy said it best!
Don’t take the money because it’s a form of APPR entrapment! No stipend is worth it.
-
They weren’t.

And on what do you base your fantasy that we are ALL getting paid for Danielson Training? My understanding is that it is the Principal, Chapter Leader and maybe two more from each building will have something about the new rating system this summer. In any event a few hours – a far cry from a whole day… further you miss the point as one who would rather call people names: it’s about violating the regs on leaving politics at the door or engaging in political speech while in your capacity as chancellor on the job. And I’ll reiterate nycdoenuts question: Did they also get per session for the day itself? Sorry, seems like your the hack here, calling people names, alluding to a teachers being paid when we don’t know that’s true. talking about Danielson traininng when there’s no such thing,

Keep your “stipend”, your “highly effective” rating, and your “training”. And get your ignorant butts out of our classrooms so we can do our jobs.
