I doubt I will ever be hired permanently. I wouldn't hire me if I was principal which would place a junior teacher at risk of excess. System is at fault.James Eternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578647381229034792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-12890878801672375862015-09-08T21:09:39.925-04:002015-09-08T21:09:39.925-04:00Thanks.

For example:<br /> We do not sign in at security after the first day in that building. <br /> We do not punch in unless all teachers in that school do. <br /> We do not do lunch duty, hall duty or bathroom duty, unless the other teachers do. <br /> We <b>DO</b> go to PD and Faculty meetings and Parent teacher conferences/back to school nights.<br /> We are not visitors or guests in the building and as such we do not wear name tags.<br /> The building UFT rep is OUR rep as long as we are in that school.<br /> Your chapter leader also can help you file a grievance if your teaching <br />program does not follow contractual guidelines (e.g., more than three <br />teaching periods in a row, four working assignments in a row, etc.).<br /> In HS and IS, you receive 5 preps and 5 professional periods a week.<br /> In Elem Schools, you receive 5 preps a week in a 7 period a day school.<br /> In Elem Schools, you receive 5 preps and one administrative period in an 8 <br />period a day school.<br />We are teachers and as ATRs <b>we teach</b>. We do not do clerical duty, answer phones, make copies, etc. We do not cover Paras. <br /><br />Fellow ATRs, please add to this list.

If you are eventually permanently hired, I'd say your experience would be unique in all ways. I believe your blog, profile, and eloquence involving both are the reasons for it. Many ATRs have not had a pleasant time of it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
