DEMAND FOR STUDENT GOALS
Since quality review has began, it seems that many principals have been asking staff to have a student goal developed for each child, and at times, posted on the child’s desk. If you have been asked to create individual student goals (with exception to IEP goals), please e-mail me @ cl231k@aol.com
SUPPORT COPE
We have to support COPE. Many of us currently do not donate to our COPE. Cope is an essential component of our union. Federal law prohibits union dues for political action. That includes lobbying and supporting candidates who support union causes.
This important part of the process is how we get benefits, such as 55/25 and high rates of return on our TDA. Give to COPE.
The recommended contribution for teachers is $5 and for paras $2.50. Trust me. You won’t even miss it are entitled to a paid preparatory period if the meeting occurs during your preparatory period and coverage was not provided.
Political action is becoming increasingly more important because of the current economic climate and threatened cuts to education that will adversely impact our classrooms.
