Does NCDPI pay for this????

by Just curious

Mar 21, 2017

Received an email today that NCDPI is looking for teachers to write/edit EOG/EOC/etc. assessments. Do any of you know if this is a PAID gig or do they only want volunteers? Also, do you know if it can be done online or does the teacher have to go to Raleigh? Thanks for any information you might could share about this!

KarenC Well, they used to pay for it. I did it for two years and got paid to do it.

Does anyone know what this is?

Wake I think it refers to the fact that they are auditing all accounts and if it says that, they haven't gotten to yours yet.

Weather days = lost time?

by hst

Jan 10, 2017

We have "lost" 8 teaching days due to Hurricane Matthew and the recent snow/ice event. We are not extending the semester here despite being on a block schedule for high school with CTE, NCFE and EOC exams that are semester based. We did extend the school day a few minutes but that is not noticeable on our class schedule to me as a classro...See More

logicality Hyper-testing is a joke. It simply a mechanism of punitive control and reward to buddies who support campaigns. It's an expensive mistake that should not be tolerated by taxpayers. Teachers are quite capable of assessing teachers as they did for decades. Stop the waste, torture, and insanity.

Jan 13, 2017

logicality Pardon my quick typing with lack of proofreading. I should have said teachers can assess STUDENTS - not teachers. :)

I am thinking about moving to the Raleigh area from Craven county. I am an EC teacher with 11 years experience and have had excellent administration and support, just need a change. Is Wake county a support school district for EC? Any schools to avoid? Thanks!

Unscientific poll. Is PBIS helping or hurting?

by Is it just me?

Nov 25, 2016

I don't know how many of you are implementing PBIS but we have for a few years and while our administration reports far fewer office referrals, the reality is that behavior in our school has digressed by leaps and bounds.

So I'm curious. If your school has it could your rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being has really hurt and 5 being ...See More

Check-in/Check out is used with the students who continually have behavior issues. A student is referred for check in/check out by the teacher, the parent has to sign permission....The student checks in with a staff member who is assigned the check in/check out position (in my case it was the music teacher) upon arrival to school. The student gets a sheet that he/she has to take with him throughout the day. Sort of like a behavior contract. The student's day is broken down on the sheet with the daily schedule: recess, lunch, math, specials, etc. and then there is a break-down of four or five desired behaviors (listened to the teacher, stayed on task, keeps hands to himself, etc.) After the scheduled time the teacher circles a 2, 1, or 0 for how the student did during that time and with the behaviors. (It sounds like a lot, but it literally only takes a few seconds for the teacher to complete....). At the end of the day the student goes back to the check in/check out teacher with his report who counts up his points. Usually the goal is 85&37;. If the student meets his goal, he is given a prize/or it could be a sticker on a chart that goes towards a prize once a larger number of points are attained. The student takes his report home and gets it signed by his parent and returns it the next day to the check in/check out teacher who then gives him a new sheet for that day. At my school of 550 students there were probably about 20 students on the program. It's an important part of PBIS so I'm surprised you haven't heard of it....It did wonders for most of the students, but, of course, not for all. Hope this helps!
