Thus making the implication that the "innocent" should not be concerned, because there is a procedure in place to protect them. OR NOT because IF a teacher is determined ineffective on the state test portion of the evaluation, it will basically count for 100% of their overall score - .(The test scores will override the 50% observation portion) Why even have observations of your teaching if they are only going to be dismissed as irrelevant by a review team that must follow New York State Law? What a charade! The system of APPR is designed to fail a certain percentage of teachers just as the tests are designed to fail a certain percentage of students. Elia has stated that "The standards have to challenge the students to be really stretched." NOTHING has changed for teachers or students! The students only recourse is to opt out. The only thing being stretched is the truth.

For the second year in a row, Governor Cuomo vetoed the Veteran's Equality Act. This bill would permit honorably discharged veterans who are public workers the opportunity to buy back three years of their service for pension credit. The bill had unanimous support in the Assembly and the Senate, both years. The current legislation is disjointed and discriminatory. Combat veterans from Afghanistan and most most female vets are prohibited from purchasing their time. The Governor's disdain for public workers knows no boundaries-even veterans. Call Senator Larkin and Assemblywoman Paulin and demand an override of the Governor's veto of the Veteran's Equality Act.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-88029258187309202062015-11-01T17:32:34.018-05:002015-11-01T17:32:34.018-05:00Prediction: Cuomo the snake finally listens via hi...Prediction: Cuomo the snake finally listens via his "task force" and tries to be the savior of public education<br /><br />Not because he believes patents,and educators are right but because his poll numbers are spiraling lower and lower, his daily dirty dubious dealings are coming out into the more and more, Preet and other investigative pressures are chipping away at him. <br /><br />He is vulnerable, whatever hope he has for political survival may actually hinge on public education......and righting his wrongs. He will use us as part of his commission to fix everything that HE set into motion.<br /><br />So Jessica McNair and all you others that get a chance to speak...KEEP HAMMERING EVEN HARDER. <br /><br />Parents that have sat by and a watched others fight for your children, NOW is the time to join the the fight.

Now their two strategies involving quikc and constant change have been stymied. The result is that Quomo et al are now being held responsible for outcomes--and the outcomes when you intentionally try to crate a crisis are ugly. You own the results now Quomo--and you deserve the fiasco you and Tisch set out to create! Even the media are beginning to catch on that the critics balmed others for the crisis they intentionally created. The public is not buying Cheater schools as the answer--so not Quid Pro Quomo has an educational fiasco on his hands--and no solution! Quomo is likely to have to admit that Albany and Dc ahs created a fiasco and pronounce he support local control--so he can blame localities for the mess he intentionally laid upon NY State!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-74271238669157973022015-11-01T09:56:40.910-05:002015-11-01T09:56:40.910-05:00Window dressing.

There wont be either because this is what they are trying to PROTECT with all of this change and modification. The center of what they want is to have an avenue to remove teachers. This scaling back on tests and common core redux is ALL ABOUT maintaining the central vision of destroying organized, professional, semi-middle class teachers. <br /><br />- they want to scale down tests and rebrand common core, thats all. They want to quiet parents. <br /><br />- Hochman is an empty gesture. <br /><br />- We face the same challenges right now as we did 6 months ago. <br /><br />RBE, keep this up. You are spot on for being skeptical of this nonsense. We cant allow the media, bloggers, teachers, union people to think that this latest stuff from Cuomo is a victory. It is not. In fact, it is a reorganization designed to continue and further their aims AGAINST organized teachers. <br /><br />If we relax now and think this is a victory, we will be facing an even bigger juggernaut against us very soon. <br /><br />We have to be and stay sharper then the reformers and that means paying attention to what they ARE NOT saying as well as what they are. <br /><br />Nobody said VAM-APPR has to go....therefore it is clear that they intend on keeping it. Its the most important thing to them....not common core. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
