According to Dr. Till, step two of our process to implement the Excellence in Education Act bonus to 25%

of our eligible teachers is finished. We verified our eligibility list and had every teacher check it for accuracy.

Teachers were given an opportunity to not be a part of the process. The following are our statistics.

2524 Teaches were eligible by the verification of the Alpha list.

Twenty nine teachers asked that their status be reviewed. Twelve were added to the Alpha List and

Twenty nine were not eligible.

Of the 2524 teachers on the Alpha List, 1, 358 signed individual forms requesting the their name be

removed from the list. The number removed represented 54% of the eligible teachers.

We can increase this number if others Decline to Sign when offered the contract.  Encourage teachers to Decline to Sign and stop the demoralization of teachers in NC!

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!
