sanctions against in service training ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Tzur - sharontzu5@xxxxxxx Subject: sanctions against in service training In response to Michele Ben's posting. I don't think that the directive not to attend the in-service training is wrong headed. Quite the contrary. First, it's a sanction which sends a clear message - no more changes with vague promises about remuneration. We made that mistake 6 years ago when we began to implement the NBA, including the projects, for no extra pay. We have to understand that the struggle must be before implementation, not afterwards. Otherwise, it's like negotiating the cost of a house after you've already signed the contract stipulating that you agree to buy. Furthermore, other teachers are being paid for making a change in their curriculum with the understanding that changes require in service training and extra prep hours. Why should we be entitled to less? Lastly, it is a sanction that carries minimal (if any) "damage" to the students. As to the g'mul we are entitled to - we can get these g'mulim for any hishtalmut - not just this particular one. At any rate, the increase for one 56 hour course is not very significant. ----------------------------------------------- Call for Articles The Etni Rag needs you ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
