TFA TRAINING AND LAPSED TEACHER CERTIFICATE!

Louisiana's State Evaluator Only Has TFA Training

Another Teach for America executive in Louisiana, is now in a position to evaluate "REAL" 

teachers. She is a  non-certified teacher with only 2 years experience, and that is teaching based

on a crash course training through TFA? What about the Praxis? Did she take it ? 

I wonder if  her two years of teaching was evaluated?

But let us also remember that; the person who developed the evaluation program for 

Louisiana and who trained principals on how to evaluate teachers, had NO teaching 

experience at all and NO training in education!

Interesting, very interesting!!

BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS!!

 A Fresh School Year

School clothes check,  school supplies check, school buses picking up students check, ringing of school bells check, smell of cafeteria food check and Friday night football double check. All of this and many more are the beginning of a new school year.
This is also a reminder about dues. NO money from local, state or national dues go towards national campaigns. Example of this: The presidential election. Money for national campaigns come from a separate PAC which is voluntary. In Louisiana, all of the Louisiana Association of Educators'  PAC money is for Louisiana politics only. GET THE FACTS:  If you have any questions contact the LAE office for more information.
Acadia Association of Educators would like to wish everyone a happy and successful school year.
