Directions to JCEA

 

 

 
 
 

Votes still being tallied:
Human Resources vs. Payroll

UPDATE:  WALK-THROUGHS
NO principals should be entering the classroom with Reading Specialist or Literacy Coach at this time. Meetings are scheduled with the district and the JCEA.
How about that Face-Off"? You thought I was kidding when I asked "Where's Joann?".
How about one of our contest favorites not accepting the faculty's choice for Hudson County Teacher's Recognition. Now they are told they can't even vote in the election, who runs these? Fairer elections are held in Nicaragua. When will this guy (and gal) ever learn?
Now another contest favorite (and you guys always get it right). What high school's VP got into a "slapping" and "punching" exchange with a student?? (Really surprised it wasn't a teacher). The same guy who can't wait to call DYFS and report a teacher. Something about Poetic Justice?
All winners receive a prize, keep up the good work!
Fond Farewell to Dr. Bill Ronzitti, Associate Superintendent, on his way to become Superintendent of Florham Park. Bill always stayed a member of JCEA. Good Luck!
Still looking for Joann!
Any news, notes, gossip, whatever, please let me know.
Stay well, stay warm, and stay in touch.

Face On?  Face Off?  Face On? Face Off? Which is it?
(Where's Joann?)

January 2 - School yes! School no! School yes! School no! School yes! School No! - Which is it?
(Where's Joann?)
 
Literacy Walkthrough
Principal, Reading Specialist, Literacy Coach, and God knows who else walking through your class with clipboards looking for 'Evidence of Quality Teaching'.
No way!
This is nothing more than a backdoor approach to another evaluation, and we simply cannot and will not let it happen.
See you in court!
We fought too hard and lost too much in the strike to permit these newly named "SWATS" to take place.
More to follow...
Now the CAPA REVIEW TEAM!
Find them a nice comfortable office.
Close the library. (Kids don't need it!)
CAPA uses it for their own private cafeteria. They should try bringing their own lunch, ordering in, ordering out or try the micro. Let them get a taste of the real world and do it all in 40 minutes. Are you kidding me? This is a real joke!
Now for some assignments
Math teachers teaching science; General Education teaching Special Education; Special Education teaching General Education. Who thought of this?
(Where is Joann?)
Human Resources holding up paychecks. Payroll overpaying and underpaying.
Whose worse? Vote next week.
Stay tuned. Much more to come. Believe it or not!
Stay warm. Stay dry. Stay in touch.
Thank you for your continued support.
