Moreover, since principals will need experienced teachers since the overall school scores will be used to evaluate them, this gives them a further incentive to hire ATRs.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-25850652613786441072013-10-05T22:02:14.929-04:002013-10-05T22:02:14.929-04:00Chaz,

Honestly, in my opinion, unless they take the budgeting away from the principals and put up a real hiring freeze, then nothing will happen. <br /><br />Why would a principal want an ATR long term when we cost them more money than a neophyte?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-8982470366947641562013-10-05T15:15:22.828-04:002013-10-05T15:15:22.828-04:00Ms Tsouris:

The ...Ms Tsouris:<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment. <br /><br />The primary reason that principals will not hire ATRs is salary. Even when an ATR signs a "provisional agreement" they are not invited back the next year. Over 90% (probably 98%)are told by the Principal that they decided not to retain you. The reason is that the first year the ATR does not affect the schools average teacher salary but the second year it would.<br /><br />The union is embarrassed about how the DOE and principals have violated both the spirit and the letter of the ATR agreement and are hoping for better things in a de Blasio administration.<br /><br />Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-49956951441079798502013-10-05T13:30:25.451-04:002013-10-05T13:30:25.451-04:00This is a monumental, staggering waste of talent. ...This is a monumental, staggering waste of talent. I was out with several ATRs last night, and so much expertise lost: two experienced, seasoned, knowledgeable English teachers, one math teacher, and one science teacher. Only one had over 17 years of experience. The upside is that they all read your blog and appreciate it greatly!<br /> They all asked the same questions: 1)Why are young inexperienced teachers getting hired and not them? and 2) Where is the union?Ms. Tsourishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978868613223436958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-85661093083913829112013-10-04T19:15:31.065-04:002013-10-04T19:15:31.065-04:00I am having the opposite problem...

The principal filled all three positions with three first year math teachers. It would seem that there are no math ATR teachers.

I really hope not but I am really scared that it can. I do not want to accept a position unless I know that it is right for me - is that too much to ask? What do you thinkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
