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

Especially the unencumbered planning time.

Teacher.

Teacher.
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.

How do you know??
It listed right next to her name in the school directory. "Teacher Resident"
I googled her. She has a 2021 undergraduate degree in theater. So someone who wanted to be an actress, realized it's impossible, and is now trying to teach without a teaching degree because it was an easy job to get. Can't wait.
Got it. My school doesn’t have the directory updated yet.
It seems that FCPS is spinning it like these are teachers with out of state license or the wrong license but have taught before. But this is definitely IAs last year who are now teaching. Maybe even having an IA that is the same level of qualification as them. Haha
Actually we have a new SPED teacher with 18 years of experience but has a provisional due to a move. Not everything is being spun so tread lightly.
Provisional is much different than teacher resident. Provisional usually means they are licensed in another state. Provisional teachers are paid on the salary scale based on years of experience. Teacher Residents are not placed on the salary scale, they make 48 K.
