"Inventing New Boundaries" at the K12 Online Conference 2007

The K-12 Online Conference 2007 began today with a preconference keynote by educator and technology advocate David Warlick. If you are curious about effective and meaningful technology integration into our classrooms, this conference is a good way to explore with minimal time investment and zero expense!

Conference organizers are utilizing a variety of applications familiar to School Matte…

Leaving "competition" behind

Cross-posted at ThinkTime

I've been steeping in a brew of educational conversation this week -- first at a meeting on Monday afternoon in which board members, school personnel, and community leaders debated the future of the Great Schools Partnership and then tonight at a gathering in which Sallee Reynolds outlined an ambitious curriculum design for…

The School Matters moderators plan to meet with KCSB/KCS to tell them more about the site and that we need their expertise/particpation in order to make this not only a discussion site but an action site.

The job-sharing policy, which I initially proposed when I first came on the Board, is only for tenured teachers, but part-time should be open to any certified teacher. Job-sharing is a more nuanced thing where two teachers share one k-5 class. At the 6-12 level part-time teaching doesn't require nearly as much coordination. It should be at the discretion of the principal, as is all hiring, but if the principal thinks you'd be a good fit even if only part-time, then it should be allowed. We can't afford to offer benefits to part-time teachers, but that should be an area where we compare favorably to the private sector since so many teachers have family obligations. Offering part-time flexible work schedules should be a significant way for us to attract and retain talented people.If you hear differently from HR, let me know. Perhaps we need to re-visit the policy.

At 7:41am on August 21st, 2007, Beth Love said…: After attending the SB workshop last night and listening to Sallee Reynolds plan for the new HS, you sound like the type of person she would want to hire! I too am a Language Arts teacher looking to teach part time. Sadly, because I have taught out of state ( I am licensed to teach in TN) and don't have tenure here, the Board's policy is to only let tenured teachers teach part time. Hopefully that can be changed so that I can get back in the classroom, yet still be able to be home when my kids get off the bus. I would love to be on the HV team.
