Dear Teacher,
The Department of Education will be supplementing its supervision of teachers in the Absent Teacher Reserve (ATR) pool. Under this initiative, teachers will be supervised by a licensed administrator, called a Field Supervisor, who will periodically observe practice and provide feedback to support professional development.
Additionally, the Field Supervisor will be responsible for making recommendations to the appropriate District Superintendent for final ratings and/or tenure. As a teacher in the ATR pool who is rotating assignments weekly you will be covered by this initiative.
At some point next month, you should expect your Field Supervisor to visit your assignment site to meet with you in person. At this initial meeting, the Field Supervisor will work with you to develop a plan to support your professional growth and job search process. The Field Supervisor will make an effort to contact you via your DOE email in advance of the initial meeting to give you a sense of when you can expect him or her; however, he or she may not always be able to provide advance notification.
Sincerely,
NYC Department of Education
At the very least, this should be forwarded to Mulgrew. Is there someone at the UFT that is in charge if ATR's. Or would it be the district rep.
ReplyDeleteI find it very strange that this is not signed by anyone. Any idea what department this is coming out of ?
Did all the ATR's get one of these? I did not .
ReplyDeleteSomeone I know who works in Tweed warned me about this in September when I was illegally excess into the ATR pool. I had to teach a class of kids I did not know and had five minutes to prep. I had my own lesson plans and used them. I got a satisfactory rating and have been left alone since
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy who supervises the field supervisors? I was told by my field supervisor that I will receive a letter to file due to excessive absence all medically documented. I had fracturedy foot filef on line SOLAS for health Restoration uploaded documents. Was told by Min Choi ti withdraw one and that he never got my medical documents.some how the leave applications were both withdrawn. I withdrew one since I thought I needed more days. The Unionrep who was present said very little and told me she will help with the rebuttal. I worried that I will receive a end year rating of a U.is there anything else I can do?
