[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a dcps teacher, really this argument is silly.

Teachers yes would like a few more sick days, thank you.

But really we want our already short 45 minute planning to be guaranteed and students come in at 8:40, unless in before care.

Technically we are supposed to have the mornings 2/5 days. It should be 4/5.

And really I’m confused why this forum doesn’t know IMPACT (our evaluation) is the #1 reason teachers leave dcps.
Then for sped it is because they really do not allow us to provide FAPE.

I REALLY don’t need a 4 day work week or virtual, I need my planning time, I don’t need to cover other classes, I need my TA. The council is just throwing teachers a bone. They better fix that para pay quickly or you’ll see even more ECE-K1 and self contained teachers quit. No support equals less learning.[/quote]

The surveys of teachers don't list IMPACT as a reason why teachers leave DCPS.  From uplink, this EmpowerEd report doesn't put doing anything to IMPACT in the top 10 solutions to them remaining in their job.

It is one of the top 3 reasons, you can ask any DCPS teacher. This is coming from a teacher who has only received a highly effective score.

Para thing doesn’t impact all teachers so admittedly some don’t care but I promise every ECE-K/1 teacher does and every self contained teacher. But special education is a big deal and it matters. So does ECE especially when that’s one of DCPS’s selling points.[/quote]
