Everybody is up in arms about DeVos. However, I am way more pissed about the 4 OBSERVATIONS. DeVos is not going to be coming into my classroom any time soon with a Danielson clipboard but I gotta sweat out 4 observations when the rest of NYS only has 2. Is there anyway for the rank and file to petition the UFT to get us 2 observations by September? (Rumors of the DOE and CSA wanting only 2 observations make it seem that this is actually a realistic goal.) I urge MORE to keep the UFT on notice that teachers are demanding 2 observations just like the majority of teachers in NYS.
