Report

Sorry about the previous response as I don't frequently post.

Yes, it is about working conditions as described. I am looking
for an organized way to communicate better with our local
CTA board rather than just reporting to our school site reps.
A survey of our members could show all members what are
the most pressing issues and we would be less divided; more
informed. Also, the clarity could facilitate better
communication with our district.
So, I am in search of a survey from a district that has quality
working conditions which leave the teachers in their best
form to respond to the needs of students as people as well
focusing on training for Common Core lessons/strategies. I
feel that we need a better balance.
