Teachers aren't even aware there's another platform!! Equally important, what is ICE doing for UNTENURED teachers?? Will the contract be enforced for untenured teachers b/c currently, UNITY is NOT enforcing Article 8J and other rights afforded to them!! There are MANY untenured teachers being abused by principals and NO HELP is given to them by this union!! CAMPAIGN and tell us what you plan on doing for for ALL teachers, not just TENURED teachers!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-74966084409148051782010-02-23T10:25:22.583-05:002010-02-23T10:25:22.583-05:00On boycotts:

The UFT should look for the most vulnerable principal who is forcing this down peoples' throats. Hold meetings with the staff to prepare them. Have a strategy in place to respond if people are harassed. Make a big deal of it. Create a confrontation with the DOE in every forum. Press conf etc. By focusing on one school - it is like a magnifying glass. Expand to the district if this is widespread. <br /><br />There needs to be some creative thinking at the UFT. But if there is not we have to do it ourselves.<br /><br />Ed Notes and maybe ICE might set up a task force to address these issues. Get case studies school by school. Let's target the most abusive principals and expose the lack of UFT action at the district level. Embarrass the Dist rep and borough office.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-17804030837347814532010-02-22T23:55:53.819-05:002010-02-22T23:55:53.819-05:00My question is a simple one:

Specific, me...My principal is on a SMART goal kick. Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time frame? These are not the correct expectations. I forget what they are at this moment. We were also given a fat binder to fill up with the SMART goals which each student should have. It is kind of an IEP for each and every student. Then we are expected to have a chart posted on the walls to show how the children are working to meet the goals. Another fun part is to list how you are differentiated the instruction for each and every student depending on their mode of learning. Also , you are expected to tell how you plan on attaining the goals. Needless to say my binder is stuffed with any paper that has the lingo of the day. I have conferencing papers , charts , graphs, my kindergarden photo, Blooms Tax refund, ungraded midterms and the kitchen sink. I intend to dazzle them with bullshit when they ask to see my binder. When I am finished explaining my paperwork they will be so lost and confused they will call me a Master Teacher! I have 200 students. As far as lesson plans are concerned , contract states you can not get LTF based on format. The only way you can have format dictated is if you are in danger of receiving a U! If the staff sticks together then what can they do?proofoflifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223433380297875666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-82757903968990984372010-02-22T19:09:55.420-05:002010-02-22T19:09:55.420-05:00Mulgrew already started campaigning!

I have printed up articles in the ICE blog and put them in mail boxes so that teachers know that there <br />is another choice, so that they know what ICE is and what it is about! But James, you have start campaigning! We have done our best to let people know about ICE and you, but you have to start putting out flyers of your own in school mail boxes! Do something!<br />Get your campagin team working, or all will be lost! Mulgrew is Vulnerable now, we will never get another chance like this again!!!!!! What are you waiting for! I told you before<br />if you want to save Jamaica High School and all the other schools and teachers you must start campaigning now! Only when ICE wins some elections will we be able to stop this!<br />If you don't campaigning hard, then all that work that you did to save Jamaica will be for nothing! Mulgrew will chance his tune when he wins and he will be just like Randi! Just read his flyer in your mail box tomorrow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
