Mic...I hope you and Dr. Baker can make this event:<br /><br />Michelle Rhee’s Students First is teaming up with hedge fund billionaire David Tepper’s Better Education for Kids to recruit NJ teachers to support their teacher evaluation agenda. Both well-funded corporate reform groups support the elimination of tenure and seniority rights and the imposition of test-based teacher evaluation ratings. In Washington, D.C, where Rhee was chancellor, her IMPACT evaluation system led to illegal firings, cheating scandals, and sustained turmoil.<br /> <br />Students First and B4K are offering teachers $100 gift cards to attend “roundtables” to “discuss critical issues regarding teacher evaluation, document their recommendations, and present their collective work to the New Jersey Department of Education.” <br /> <br />A sign-up form is attached and the list of sessions is here. Teachers interested in defending their rights and profession and responding to the corporate reform agenda are encouraged to attend. (A $100 to tell them what we really think of their proposals—NOT BAD)<br /> <br />November 12th, 8:30 am - 12:45 pm, Princeton<br />November 12th, 8:30am - 12:45 pm, Camden<br />November 19th, 8:30 am - 12:45 pm, Tom's River<br /><br />We need our voices heard.Ms. Serdyhttp://msserdy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
