Teachers talk working conditions

Guilford County Schools and the Guilford Education Alliance met today to discuss ways to improve local teacher working conditions. To jog your memory, the district participated in a state-commissioned survey to determine if teachers thought they had enough time and professional development to do their jobs well, adequate facilities and resources, empowerment and leadership.

The Center for Teaching Quality partnered with the Guilford Education Alliance to analyze the data. The local schools advocacy group later partnered with local teachers to make recommendations to the district.

What do you think of the Guilford Education Alliance's recommendations? (They are listed under the 'points for consideration' portions of the report.) Anything missing?

Teaching conditins would improve if there were more assistants,smaller classes, and if teachers were allowed to teach and not have to take care of the peripherals.
