DPI Survey
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction would like to hear from teachers across the state about the NC Standard Course of Study professional development strategies and implementation.
The NCDPI conducted a similar survey in January 2013. We hope to ensure that the information we gather from these surveys will inform our provision of development and support for NC public school teachers.
Please take a moment to complete this brief survey. The survey will close at 5 pm on Friday, Feb. 14. Thank you!
Moral March on Raleigh
February 8,2014
Buses will leave the NAACP Headquarters in Fayetteville at 707 Murchison Road at 7:30 am. Transportation is provided by CCAE.
The Time to Act is Now…
The Association Representatives in each building were sent petitions for teachers (members and/or nonmembers) to sign to decline those 4 year contracts if offered. It is time for teachers to stand up for the kids they teach and for each other. It is also time for teachers to stand up to the General Assembly!
First give Teachers a raise, then let’s talk about how to reward excellent instruction. Spending $20 in 2008 is like spending $21.64 today. That’s an 8.2% increase. Ok, so we got a 1.12% raise in the past 5 years. So, educators deserve at least a 7.08% raise just to keep pace with inflation.
Sign to Decline in your building, if not, you can come to the CCAE officeMonday – Thursday (4:30 pm – 6:00 pm) and sign the petition. Please do this before February 7, 2014.
Stand with GovernorHunt and raise teacher pay
Substitutes are only allowed to work 28 hours per week. This is due to theAffordable Health Care Act requiring the district to provide health insurance. I have inquired about retirees that subsitute… they already have health insurance… will they be exempt from this policy. I do have an unconfirmed report from a retiree that the new policy does not apply to her. I hope to hear from the administration to confirm this.
