[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another piece of information: experienced, licensed educators in DCPS have been riffed in order to make spaces for unlicensed Teach for America teachers[/quote] PP here. I am going to have to push back on this. I have been in DCPS for five years, and we had one RIF (Reduction in Force), and I will agree that it was bogus. And after a long drawn out court battle the wrongly RIFed teachers were given jobs back. What happens, most often is that teachers are seperated from the district due to poor performance evaluations, and then spots are opened up for other teachers and TFA DCTF folks. Secondly, most of the places that TFA and DCTF goes- no one else wants to go into. The alt. cert. teachers are taking jobs that would often go unfilled if not for optimistic new teachers.[/quote] Wrong, we got lots of TFAs at our school, beautiful modernized building, great location.
