CT News Junkie | OP-ED | Senate Bill 24: A Punishment Or An Opportunity For CT’s Teachers?

Help send a message to Ayer that CT teachers are very well educated about SB24.  Join other well-informed teachers at the capitol next week to show our support for public education in CT.  The bus leaves Trumbull on Wednesday, April 25.

CT News Junkie | OP-ED | Senate Bill 24: A Punishment Or An Opportunity For CT’s Teachers?: "Teachers across the state have been led to believe that Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s education reform bill called for an unfair evaluation system — one in which they could be evaluated and arbitrarily dismissed by a single administrator, one which would fuel competition, rather than collaboration, and remove job security. In response to such fears, the Education Committee bowed under pressure and passed substitute language that significantly weakened the bill.

The disheartening irony is that if teachers really understood the governor’s original plan, they would welcome it as a long overdue opportunity to receive the support, financial compensation, and professional recognition that they don’t receive today."
