GUEST OPINION: IT’S TIME TO ADD VALUE TO NEW JERSEY TEACHER EVALUATIONS

JOHN KELLMAYER | NOVEMBER 15, 2018

 

The current system of evaluating teachers in the Garden State all but ignores an extremely important, if controversial, tool 

I was a New Jersey school principal and district superintendent for more than 25 years. I estimate that I did more than 2,000 formal teacher observations. The process by which New Jersey teachers are evaluated has changed dramatically in the last several years. However, this process is seriously flawed and occasionally has been politically motivated.

A recent report by the New Teacher Project that examined the performance of thousands of teachers and administrators in 12 districts and four states found that less than 1 percent received an unsatisfactory rating. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan sarcastically remarked, “Today in our country 99 percent of our teachers are above average.”

TOM GOLDSCHMIDT-TEACHER EXTRAORDINARE

by Gus Danks | GCHS Alumnus Class of '63

(reprinted from The Maryan 1963 yearbook)

 

Tom was my English teacher at Gloucester Catholic High School in South Jersey fifty-five years ago. He died last week at the age of eighty-one. He graduated first in his class at Villanova many years ago and came back for a few years to his former high school to teach us and to serve as an excellent role model.

I told Tom on a few occasions that he was the best teacher I ever had - in high school or in college. He was an excellent lecturer and an elevating presence to students like me, who surely were in need of some elevation. He continued in teaching for many years at Moorestown High School before moving into the real estate industry.

Gloucester City Planning Board Considering Development Plans; Meeting Wednesday Night

 

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNewsnet 

GLOUCESTER CITY, NEW JERSEY (October 16, 2018)(CNBNewsnet)—Redevelopment plans for properties on the west side of Broadway will be discussed at the Wednesday, October 17 Gloucester City Planning Board meeting to be held at 7:30 PM in council chambers, 313 Monmouth Street.

On January 25, 2018 City Council adopted resolution R#027-2018 directing the Planning Board to conduct an "Area in Need of Redevelopment" study. The area to be studied as directed in the Resolution is bounded by the Delaware River to the west, Somerset Street and Monmouth Street to the north, Washington Avenue to the east and Powell Street to the south. The resolution initially identified a large area, which consisted of approximately 500 parcels. However, it was decided to cut the area and focus on a smaller size.

Childhood Cancer Awareness

September was Childhood Cancer Awareness month.  Gloucester City High School honored Cassidy Voll, a Junior and cancer survivor during halftime of the GHS vs. New Egypt football game.  She was accompanied by her family.

Throughout the past few weeks under the guidance of our Nurse, Mrs. Stewart, Cassidy and her GHS classmates coordinated multiple fundraisers to raise awareness for this powerful & important cause.  Mr. Gorman proudly communicated "that the Gloucester City High School community collectively raised well over $1,000 that will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Cassidy's honor. 

CHOP provided excellent care to Cassidy  as she was diagnosed with Leukemia in the 6th grade.  That diagnosis led her to endure 5 rounds of chemotherapy.  She is now in remission but has been further challenged by results of the chemotherapy which have required her to have bilateral hip replacements and stem cell transplants.  Most recently, Cassidy braved through ankle replacements as physicians worried in the spring of 2017 that she may be facing lower leg amputations.  To say that Cassidy is the definition of "lionhearted" would be an understatement.  We are infinitely proud of Cassidy and endlessly grateful for the difference that she makes at Gloucester High School each day."

Cassidy released balloons in memory of children who lost their battle to cancer.

Letters to the Editor: Why I Opted Out of the NJEA

Dear Friend,

Last month I decided to opt out of the NJEA. I did so because I felt it was the only way my voice could be heard.

I am a good teacher, who passionately believes in public education and supporting public school teachers at all costs. I support my local union - the Monmouth County Education Association - which has used their very tiny slice of the union dues pie to educate and empower their membership through in-service training, terrific workshops and community outreach programs. The Monmouth County Education Association does so much with so little and uses its meager allotment to do good for its members.

I wish this was also the case for our NJEA state leadership - but frankly, it is not.

9 Tips for Surviving Life as a Working Parent

 

(CNBNewsnet)(August 23, 2018)--It goes without saying that being a working parent is extremely challenging; long gone are the days when you could just get home from work, throw on some comfortable clothes, and relax in front of the television with a glass of wine. Nowadays, you are somehow expected to balance doing well in your career, and spending enough quality time with your family when you get home, all while fighting off exhaustion and running a household. Finding ways to fit in everything that you need to do into each day can seem like an impossibility, but luckily there are some things that you can do to make the task of balancing work and home life a little bit easier to manage; here are nine simple tips to help you survive life as a working parent.

Make lists

As a working parent, your to-do list is second to none, and with a million different tasks running about your mind at full speed you are bound to forget things from time to time (usually the most important things). Therefore, one of the best things you can do for your own peace of mind is to write everything down. Carry a small diary or notebook around with you in your bag, so that whenever something new pops up that you don’t want to forget, you can jot it down in your book. Then, when you get home, make sure to add all the items from the day into an organized to-do list (preferably prioritized), and cross of items when you complete them so that you don’t get confused.

*Letters to the Editor: Gloucester City Special Ed Program Lacking Case Managers; Meeting June 14

UPDATED/CORRECTED

DEAR CNBNews

I am writing because there is a lot going on in the Gloucester City Special Education world that you might want to look into and share with the community. Gloucester City School District has a large special education population. Until recently there were 8 case managers for the more than 500 students being served by the  Special Education Dept, but that number will diminish by nearly 40% to 5.  That is over one hundred students per case manager.  NJ does not have a law regarding this ratio, but it is a high ratio. Meanwhile, the department is also working to cobble together a newly developing program in short order. So, the professionals who are tasked with handling so many student cases are also working on this. Some parents and some professionals are questioning the ability of the department to have this program fully staffed and trained and developed by September.  Some students who are doing well in their out of district placements are being recalled to this program in its infancy, even students who are in eleventh grade!  It’s really a big deal but flying under the radar.

Top stress factors for High School students

 

CNBNews graphics file

(CNBNewsnet)(June 7, 2018)--Being a teenager is a time of transition, which explains why so many High School students claim to be stressed-out. As graduation nears, it is often seen as a time of great elation and celebration, but even this can be one of the most stressful times in a teenager’s life. If you are a parent and want an insight into the potential worries of your child, or you are a teenager and you want reassurance that you aren’t alone in feeling this way, read on.

 

What am I going to with my life?

You may think that teenagers spend all their time taking selfies and generally having a wonderful time, but if you cast you mind back to when you were young, you probably remember worrying about how you were going to make all your dreams come true. Some students have no idea what career they want, which makes it even more stressful. As a parent you need to support your child and offer them resources to help make decisions about their future career. Invite them to your workplace, source great career websites, and let them know that you are there to guide them onto the right career path for them. A useful site for careers and educational guidance is Withmydegree.Org, which answers questions such as What Can I Do With A Bachelors In Behavioral Science? What Can I Do With An Anthropology Degree, and What Can I Do With A Psychology Degree?
