[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went and looked up the WTU questionnaires

JLG is enthusiastic but some of her ideas are crazy

Goodweather is intent on pushing something that DCPS actually already does well (Science of Reading)

McDuffie didn't even bother to fill it out

Those are our options.[/quote]

Like what? What is ‘crazy.’[/quote]

Loosening credentialing requirements for teachers so they can hire more immigrants and Black men.

Im not white however I don't like hiring based on demographics. [/quote]

She also wants there to be a pathway to hire "returning citizens" into early child care jobs. [/quote]

I actually think the academic requirements for ECE aides are too high. Why should they need a college credits or the ability to pass an algebra test if they are good with small children (and paid absolute peanuts). I fully agree with her on this.[/quote]

DP but are they actually requirements?  When my kid was in PK3 we just got a "Parent's Right to Know" email every six weeks or so that said "you have the right to know that your child's teacher does not have the required certifications . . ."  Nobody was ever fired, and she was a great teacher so we didn't care, but it doesn't really seem like a barrier to getting a job.

If you told me that she would get a $5k/year pay bump or something if she completed her certs, I'd understand that.  But I didn't get the impression that it was really a *requirement* because she taught my kid all year (and is still there, and the next year at a different DCPS we got these notifications like clockwork about one of her specials teachers).[/quote]
