  1. Teacher Advisory meeting with SUPERINTENDENT John Barge Monica Madden October 25, 2013

  2. Salary Increases/Furloughs • Superintendent has taken cuts as well. Because of the charter amendment, Supt. office has seen a 25% cut. • There will be a pay increase next year (1-2%) because it was an election year. (Superintendent is running for Governor…He needs our vote!) • The state has not changed the amount of funds it pays of employee benefits. If insurance premiums are going up, it is an individualized district issue. • The State will NO LONGER pay for insurance for noncertified employees.

  3. TKES • TKES evaluation should NOT be punitive and should look at GROWTH. Growth as a teacher should be looked upon also with the growth of his/her students in comparison with other students with the same characteristics. • Administrators have to be credentialed to evaluate. • Administrators need to be effectively trained (continuing to work on evaluator validity).

  4. TKES • Evaluation process should be transparent (there are NO secrets with this process). • Evaluation process should be communicated as a growth tool. If it is not being communicated, the Superintendent will look into it. • Superintendent understands that the leadership in the building is a major reason behind some problems.

  5. TESTING • PARCC is gone, but there will be another PARCC like assessment. • Continue to access PARCC items in order to prepare our students for the type of test they will take. Rigor MUST be increased because the test expectations have changed. • Districts must have a plan in place for full online assessments. • GA is staying with Common Core (need consistency) • Vertical alignment for the CRCT and EOCT. Many students pass the 8th grade CRCT but lack prerequisites skills to pass the EOCT….How is that possible?

  6. DATA • State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) has been available for 2 years. (Surprised that more teachers were not aware of the SLDS). • Great teacher resource, can track test scores for the last 7 years (can see the domains and standards). • Schools receive extra credit on CCRPI when accessing it. • Superintendent can see what you are looking at and accessing on this site.

  7. TECHNOLOGY • 7 million dollars is available this year for technology. • Money will be made available in the form of a grant • Districts will have to apply for it. (Grants can be accessed online through the DOE website.) • 100 megs of internet will be given to every system by July 2015.
