That’s awful! In my district that use to be the case until the union re- negotiated how the APPR was going to count. Now it’s dependent on the 4th grade science test for everyone. How ridiculous is that?

No; my middle school last year is a title 1 school and EVERYONE is below grade level with math and reading. It’s just to varying degrees.
What I DID have happen was not having my contract renewed because of my “classroom management skills,” which was interesting, because my end of year rating was out of 20 and I got an 18.....
I got a glowing review, but they didn’t renew my contract? It was weird.

That’s a great question, the funny thing is that my administrator was a bit hesitate with giving me that rating.

No! That would never happen in my district!

This is the first time in my career that this has happened. I had data to show that my students have made significant academic growth from the beginning of the year up until testing and that was acknowledged and then not considered in the overall picture.

I’m not sure, I’m new to the district and state. I did speak with one of our coaches who that the rating may have the AP’s way of giving me an area to work on for next year being that I got proficient ratings in the other categories.

Wow! That’s just not right

That can't happen if you belong to a teacher's union otherwise teachers of GATE classes would always earn more.

It can happen in a "right to work"state. We can join a teacher organization but are not allowed to unionize.

Last Spring I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. When I was diagnosed, I think I had had it for several years. My doctor put me on a diabetes med (my A1C was 10.2 and my blood sugar was 270). I knew I didn’t want to deal with the adverse effects of this disease, so I made some drastic dietary changes, started exercising, and brought my blood sugar down. I am now back in the pre-diabetic range, and I got off my diabetes meds. I lost 40 lbs. and feel great! Take care of yourselves! It’s important
