EVAAS data release

Does anyone find this helpful in adjusting instruction? I teach a high school course with a NC Final Exam. So I/my students (last year) just missed exceeding growth (am at the high end of expected growth). Now what? (Am ignoring the fact that I have only about 3 weeks of instruction left in this semester anyway. Cannot imagine why it takes so long ...See More

same here I'm taking SS Leveling for the following reasons:

1. I am debt free and can live on it if I have to 2. Men in my family don't live long usually 3. I have to get out - I am damaging my health staying in this profession 4. I want to get it while I can - things are so volatile in many arenas, who knows what the future hold.

WORKLOAD

by Tired

Nov 11, 2015

Will the workload ever subside so we can go back to teaching. My guess is NO. Mounds of paperwork, data, data, data. Too much data and paperwork and not enough teaching. Has anyone ever wonder who looks over the mounds of paperwork. Just think how much one teacher generates and how in the world could someone look over ALL of this for every teacher....See More

Happy ex NC Teacher Agree with you 100&37; and good for you for taking care of
yourself and getting out. Doesn't matter if it is mid
year- do what's best for you and your family. Unemployment
nationally is really low now at 5&37; and the private sector
values the skills and work ethic of ex-teachers.

One thing lost in many of these discus...See More

Teacher from Miami, FL inquiry about NC

by Nadia

Nov 2, 2015

I have a question about salaries in the CMS and York county (Rock hill/Ft Mill)... I'm totally ignorant to how the steps work for you guys. Are the steps accurate? Meaning, If I have 14 years experience (I know florida and NC/SC have reciprocity regarding my cert) am I going to be on step 14? or is it like it is here in Miami- Dade, where we're abo...See More

don't do it They also don't have to give you all of your years. They MAY, but likely they will not. So, you should expect to be somewhere around step 5, not step 14. They will say: "Take it or leave it." As you may note, most of us suggest you leave it and stay in FL... or if that's not an option, look at getting out of teaching and do something else...See More

vbo And the topping on this whole you don't want to teach here sundae is that even though FL and NC may have license reciprocity, NC may still require you to take/retake various Praxis tests, at your own expense, to prove you are "highly qualified". You will be paid on the beginning teacher salary scale until NC recognizes your Praxis scores ...See More
