A Message from the MTA about Shaping Legislation

October 6, 2020

Before reading the MTA letter, please consider copying and pasting the following paragraph as a proposed legislative item:

The COVID-19 virus has challenged municipalities across the state with unique funding issues.  An Early Retirement Incentive like the ones presented by several local presidents (Lori Lyncosky/Steve Tulli) would benefit teachers within five years of retiring and relieve districts of the elevated costs and unfunded liabilities of their more senior teachers’ employment.  Please bring this initiative to our legislators for approval and enactment. 

Quick Link to Legislation Proposal Form The paragraph above can be cut and pasted into the form.

Full text of the MTA letter is below: [Read more…]

Hybrid Teaching Toolbox

October 5, 2020

Hybrid Teaching Toolbox

Managing classes for In-Person and At-Home students presents many challenges that we have not encountered before. As educators, we know that our students are all different and have their own individual needs. We also have a district filled with unique educators who have a vast array of teaching styles, methods, and interests. This Toolbox has been created to equip teachers with models, examples, and samples of ways to approach this school year when our students are learning in two different places at once.
