Also, what, specific advice did you give to the UFT Advocate in order to help Mr. Richardson?<br /><br />What types of questions were asked of the principal? Did the principal withdraw the rating? Usually, the hearing officer never reveals an upcoming recommendation.<br /><br />I have heard that in a number of U rating appeals that went to the Commissioner of Education via an Education Law ยง310 appeal, a transcript of the hearing at the Office of Appeals and Reviews was submitted by the Department of Education.<br /><br />These hearing transcripts should be obtained by the UFT and incorporated into their training materials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-37394439301828004212013-04-27T18:34:25.094-04:002013-04-27T18:34:25.094-04:00Choice to belong to the union...

It is a good thing MORE is forming a steering committee or folks like "anonymous April 27 9:52". Could be on the MORE SLATE next time. Anti union rhetoric, get over the loss and don't lose sight of the shared fight in which we are all involved.

I went to a meeting where we were told by Leo Casey that most rating appeals would be processed as they are now, but that 13% would be chosen to go to independent arbitrators. At a more recent meeting, I brought that up and was informed that I am not always right.<br /><br />While it's true that I am not always right, my memory's still pretty good. Hopefully Leo isn't always right either, because he wrote a column last May 12th stating the same thing in Edwize. <br /><br />http://www.edwize.org/setting-the-record-straight-on-teacher-evaluations-the-appeals-process Arthur Goldsteinhttps://twitter.com/TeacherArthurGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-40919622104745149872013-04-12T22:38:24.661-04:002013-04-12T22:38:24.661-04:00They're handing out "U ratings" ...They're handing out "U ratings" in many schools as if they are candy!
