Teacher

The alleged outrage of modesty is believed to have taken place when the man was a teacher at a junior college. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Kate Taylor, who works at a Birmingham primary school, is among thousands striking across England.

"We don't want to inconvenience anyone, we love being at school, it's horrible and we're sorry, but we're not sorry to stand up for the future of education," she said. Kate Taylor, a primary school teacher from Birmingham, said she was also on the picket line as funding for schools was "appalling". A striking teacher says she and colleagues have been "suffering from 12 years of pay degradation".

We are not seeing creative teachers, or teachers able to teach creatively or prepare kids for 21st-century learning, because they have no 'creative juice' left.

This time, can we please put aside those ill-founded views and actually listen to our teachers? In a profession that takes so much energy, one of the ways that teachers can recharge is by growing their own skills as professionals. They feel as if they are always applying a band-aid.

Kansas could soon join the Interstate Teaching Mobility Compact, which would make it easier for out-of-state teachers to receive Kansas licenses.

Final action would still need to come after the Kansas State Department of Education develops a formal plan to enact those provisions, but the board appeared set and convinced that the compact could make out-of-state licensing smoother and more convenient for applicants. "As Kansas considers entering the Interstate Teaching Mobility Compact, we urge you to be mindful of other states with standards that are less rigorous." The Kansas Legislature at any time could also decide to leave the compact, although that process would take at least a few months. Both the Legislative bill and board action have met opposition, particularly from teacher groups, who remained concerned that the Interstate Teaching Mobility Compact could allow unqualified teachers to move into Kansas. While the state board otherwise has authority over teacher credentials and licensing, members learned Tuesday that the compact itself would likely not recognize any action from just the board itself to join the compact. Applicants will also need to pass a background check in their new state, and member states would be required to share any disciplinary or investigative files they've collected on that applicant.

Cici Washburn speaks to a striking teacher about the NEU strikes, its strengths and weaknesses and organising rank and file members What do you think are ...

The members have been very involved in the picket lines and in the marches and rallies. The current strike action is rebuilding a culture of active trade unionism in the NEU. The full-time officers are very close to the lay officers and members in my region of the NEU. I did not know what to expect, but we have seen more ordinary members coming forward, keen to go on picket lines and showing interest in getting more involved in the long-term activities of the NEU. The level of rank-and-file involvement in the strike action, the picket lines and the street demonstrations has been unexpectedly high. The picket lines have been positive and joyous.

Inspired by their work in HGSE's Instructional Leadership Certificate program, a group of Connecticut educators create an in-school learning lab.

“They feel supported by us, that they are valued and we want to give them this additional opportunity.” We have a theory that giving kids more control over the manipulatives to solve a math problem will make a difference in engagement.’ So we do it the first time, [with a lot of] teacher talk and teacher control, and we see low engagement and low ability to solve the problem.” Students picked their own group partners and their own place to work. “And what happened for the first time was that team leaders from different grade levels were able to align really quickly and succinctly. Rafferty and a classroom teacher led the session. Then they invited the students to the lab to try out a math lesson. Recently, a group of math teachers in the middle school was having a hard time keeping their students on track. But the rise of technology and the return of manufacturing to the United States has brought Derby’s economy new life. The lab’s doors — and the learning that happens there — are always open to staff and students alike. We know that in a room full of professional teachers exploring skills and knowledge for teacher leadership, the answer is most often in the room. They do it at the beginning of the year. And they invite groups of students to participate in live learning sessions, in which teachers try out new ideas to build student engagement, iron out issues with presentation and management, and deliver more impact.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' education reform bill, the LEARNS Act, will raise salaries for public school teachers and could have an impact on gender ...

That’s something to celebrate in a state, and nation, in desperate need of educational improvement. Coupled with continued summers off, a $50,000 starting salary could lure some of that talent back to public schools, particularly in the parts of Arkansas that need it most. [more than half](https://oep.uark.edu/teacher-labor-market-research-and-the-arkansas-learns-act/) of Arkansas public school teachers — but few, if any, principals — have annual pay under $50,000. The proposed minimum teacher salary increase could help alleviate the hiring challenges these districts face by directing additional resources to schools and students who need them the most.

Increasing the state minimum teacher salary promotes not only gender equity, but regional and economic equity. In secondary schools, women were 63 percent of teachers and 48 percent of principals. [The Principal’s Office](https://www.amazon.com/Principals-Office-History-American-Principal/dp/1438448236),” the new field of athletic coaching attracted men to public schools, providing clear routes into principal and then superintendent posts. The law’s sweeping school choice provisions get most of the attention, but by raising minimum teacher pay from $36,000 annually to $50,000 annually, LEARNS likely will have profound impacts on both teacher quality and gender equity. Back when “professional” meant “male,” this meant gradually replacing female principals and superintendents with men.
