[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it looks like FCPS backtracked.

The HR Team is continuing to investigate whether the ISU-College of Education’s Professional Development Academic Transcript is recognized as an official transcript by the ISU Provost and the ISU Office of the Registrar, which are requirements of our regulation and aligns with guidance previously provided to staff.

Because you enrolled in these courses with the belief you would receive full credit, Dr. Brabrand has directed the HR Team to honor those credits in full for all employees enrolled in the ISU- College of Education’s Professional Development programs as of May 13. As a result, your previously submitted additional salary request remains apporved and there will be no change to your current salary.

We are not accepting any new requests from ISU until we complete our investigation. An update will be provided once we complete our review and investigation.[/quote]

Wow, our tax money is going to pay teachers for taking this crap. We need a new school board.[/quote]

Why do you think your tax money is paying?  Teachers pay for their own courses.  We can get reimbursement for a portion of it, but it's pretty minimal.  The whole reason teachers choose ISU is because it's cheap.  [/quote]

NP, but of course the school board is involved! The tax money pays for not just the "minimal reimbursement", but also the salary bump that teachers get after taking these courses. And this salary bump is nearly always the only reason that teachers take the courses; it's widely acknowledged (and confirmed by research) that master's level education has close to a nil result on teacher effectiveness, with some studies showing significant *negative* impact.  [/quote]

What research would that be?  [/quote]
