Reminder about Observations

11/28/2011

 
If you are a tenured teacher, you are not required to fill out the forms for a pre-observation or post-observation meeting with your supervisor.  These are the basis for the questions your supervisor will ask you in those meetings.  If you are untenured, you are required to complete the paperwork.

Sign and circulate this AFT petition to support school modernization and jobs

11/8/2011

 
Using We the People, a feature on the WhiteHouse.gov website, the AFT has created a petition calling on the administration to repair and modernize America’s public schools and community colleges. You can sign the petition right here. 

The repair and modernization of public schools was a large part of the American Jobs Act, but Republicans in Congress are blocking this bipartisan proposal, putting party lines before schoolchildren and the desperate need to create jobs. 

This proposal would be the third portion of the blocked AJA sent to the Senate. Today (Thursday) GOP senators blocked the second component that had been pared off AJA. It would have created jobs for transportation infrastructure and created a national infrastructure bank. The first portion of the jobs act to fail was to provide funding to prevent layoffs and hire teachers, firefighters and police officers.

The We the People web tool allows Americans to develop, sign and share petitions calling on the Obama administration to take action on a range of issues. If the new AFT petition receives 25,000 signatures by Nov. 30, the White House will review it and respond. It’s easy. Go to the petition, create an account if you don’t already have one, and sign.
