Understanding teacher contracts
I listened in on a phone conference yesterday and found this information helpful. Go to this link to learn about teacher contracts and what you might find in them. Also, there is a survey to gauge you opinion on contracts and how districts are organized.
One of the main things I learned from the presenters is that contracts are a hot topic across the nation and more people are paying attention. The two contracts compared in this information session were both traditional and “thin” contracts which give more school autonomy. It is a helpful tool to understand the concept of contracts.

Ms. Hilty is using an article writen by an education reformist as her expertise on contracts. Just because a reformist says it is a hot topic nationally, doesn’t make it so. Also, this “national” topic can use only 2 California contracts as resources? Ms. Hilty, please try to be a true journalist and write fair and balanced articles… the slant to sell newspapers really does an injustice… you’ll be looked at as a real reporter if you would use your journalist potential to their fullest.
