I have never understood why a Doctorate is necessary in elementary education (below a Superintendant level).That typically reflects a much higher salary for a position where a Masters is perfectly adequate.
ReplyDeleteFYI. Shows you don't know anything. A doctorate only adds $500 to a persons pay above a master's degree. Look up the pays scale on the BOE's website.
Delete9:06 just wants us all to dumb down because he's not doctorate material.
DeleteMaybe if you had a doctorate you would understand.
ReplyDeleteEvidently you don't understand elemetary education.
ReplyDeleteNo offense but the fact that the board of education completely under values the doctorate by paying only $500 more per year kind of proves the first commenters point
ReplyDelete4:24 - Perhaps, but maybe one doesn't get a doctorate for the money. Perhaps one has aspirations above and beyond the current employer, personal motivation, any number of other reasons.
ReplyDeleteNot these clowns, when they milk the taxpayer for all their wants and pocket all the money they hide and put in their wallets.
ReplyDeleteIt is time the Board replaces the PE Supervisor as he is killing the program. Physical Education should be physical activities not working on smart boards or lap tops and getting the children involved with physical activities. Look at the number of young female teachers being hired. Are any minority PE teachers being interviewed and put in positions or is it young female's getting these positions. Joe , please look into this situation. The Supervisor's goal was to be in the County for 5 years and then go to the SSU program. He is destroying the program built up by Charlie Berry int he 60's followed up by Neil Haldeman, Ralph Osborne and Beth Chatfield. He doesn't care about the students or the program. He brings a laptop to observe and never helps any teacher who may be on his short stick and asks for help. Please look into this situation. Check with some members of the Board who may have a teacher in PE.
ReplyDeleteMoved vice principals when they should have moved principals!
ReplyDeleteIt used to be that those being moved received a call from their director the night before the board meeting: "Tomorrow in closed session, the board will be informed of our intention to move you from School A to School B. We are recommending this because (give reasons). We wanted you to know in advance, but please do not discuss this information until after it becomes public tomorrow." Now folks are totally blindsided by getting a call after the board addresses the changes; they will have been given no reason, no notice the night before or any other time, no anything. It will be challenging to find another boss with this level of caring about his team, but we'll have to soldier on.
