Beginning Teacher Program

by JR191025

Jan 24, 2016

I came up here from FL. My certification has processed and the state has accepted my seven years of experience. I started out working with CMS. I did not get placed in the Beginning Teacher Program. I resigned and started working at a charter school. I have just found out from them that I will need to be in a Beginning Teacher Program for the next ...See More

Warning

by tlc

Jan 21, 2016

Your favorite lawmakers in Raleigh are planning a 'nice' raise for teachers when they meet in the short session in a few months. Interesting how they found some money In an election year-how convenient! Please don't let yourselves be fooled by this blatant attempt for votes. Remember all the damage this group has done over the past 4 years. No rais...See More

A A teacher raise in election year. Who could've seen that one coming?

I like the way the previous poster worded it: Every test, every PLC meeting, every wasted moment on that useless evaluation tool ... yeah, remember. Remember it all.

Yes, I agree with voting out the establishment, but who is coming in with better ideas and more...See More

Staying positive What I find so frustrating is that all these hoops we must jump through to prove we are good teachers make it harder to actually be a good teacher. Any planning has to be done at home in the evenings and weekends. There is no way to get any planning done during the scheduled day.

Taxes and retirement

by MelindaG

Jan 19, 2016

I am looking at retiring soon. I requested an estimate of what my retirement monthly check would look like. Does anyone know if this amount is taxed? Is the amount they quote you what you actually receive or before taxes? Haven't we already pay taxes on our retirement?by

Wake My contributions to the pension are not taxed but will be taxed when I retire. It wasn't always this way depending on when you began teaching. You can google NC teachers retirement handbook and look at pages 26 and 27 for detailed information about state and federal taxes regarding your pension. Good luck!

oldandout I'm in the process now. Yes- it will be taxed. Count on about 25&37; taken out ( fed and state). Be sure you shelter your annual leave pay out in a 457 or 403 account. The state Prudential rep can help you with that. Contacts are on the retirement website. Good luck!

Mid-Year Reorganization Strategies to Teach Your Students

by Teachers.Net Gazette

Jan 10, 2016

The second semester should be a “second chance” for students, specifically, a chance to improve on their first semester performance. Very often, we as teachers tell our students to “Get organized!” A better way to help students to improve their performance, grades, homework completion, study skills, and organization skills is to teach them ...See More

I was just looking at Orbit seeing when I can retire. I was looking at my salary history and my salary in 2015 was only $918 more than in 2009. Sigh...

Sexual Harassment at WCPSS

by Examples?

Jan 5, 2016

I'm looking for teachers who have either been sexually harassed by administration or have known other teachers who have. I'd like to speak to anyone who has gone through Human Resources about it and what exactly they did about it.

I meant to say the December 2015 checks ARE less than normal. Does anyone know why?

Staying positive I'm not in any way upset with your take on what is going on in our legislature. I was simply pointing out that you are taking Steve's (and possibly my) explanation of the fact that check to check deductions don't affect the net result on taxes as political support.

I am distraught about the goings on in Raleigh these past several years and...See More

I hadn't noticed until I read your post. Mine is 64 cents less. You think they didn't take enough for taxes? I wonder too.
