[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Substitute teachers don’t need 4yr college degree. No experience needed.  No praxis test. Teacher residency is like a full time substitute job with a [b]better title [/b]for college grads.

Not just a better title, a fast track to teacher licensing.  I think it's smart.   It will draw in some smart young people who are unsure what they want to do with their lives post-college and may find they like teaching. Broadens the pool of potential educators. Just get them to pass the praxis. [/quote]

Our kids shouldn’t be subject to the whims and desperation of new college grads who can’t find a job elsewhere. [/quote]

Then start pestering the powers that be to give teachers and IAs a massive pay raise. Like, equal to the same money all these people leaving to run recruiting events or do HR work for corporations are going to make. Otherwise, they’re going to keep bleeding out.

Alternatively, cap class sizes at 20 in lower elementary and 25 for 4-12. Guarantee xxx unencumbered planning minutes each week. Bring back actual discipline, dump the extra programs teachers are expected to run for $15/hr after school or on top of the curriculum (looking at you, IBMYP).

But it’s probably cheaper to just pay people more.[/quote]

Yup this. Such simple things. 
Pay more, cap class sizes(my class is huge this year), and unencumbered planning daily. That would make most teachers thrilled!![/quote]

+1
Especially the unencumbered planning time.[/quote]

It would be helpful if principals would at least follow the school board policy that is already in place, but they don’t. They ignore it or find a way around it. It would be better if we had a collective bargaining contract with this specified.[/quote]
