    Teams Sidetracked by Injuries....

    When Avon's Sampson James was injured in the 2nd game of the season, he sat out a couple of games then played the rest of the season, but was just a shadow of himself.  No lateral movement and a loss of what was blinding speed.  It changed Avon from a semistate contender to an average team.

    So, is IU getting damaged goods??

    Could SIAC Makeover push Duneland into expansion mode?

    I don't think crashing the Duneland's party will be that easy...

    There ain't much of a party happening in the Duneland lately, conference has been on the decline for years. I like the discussion/idea on possible addition of New Prairie and Penn. I think It would be tough for Penn though to travel close to an hour or more to some road games and NP is a up and coming program. Penn does gain an hour going there, but teams in Duneland playing at Penn lose an hour on game day.

    Don't forget you can professionalize your license 1 time during your career.  That is a 10 year license, not 4 or 5 for normal renewal.  I professionalized the last time I renewed.  Then I had enough and got out of teaching after 18 years and went to work in private industry.  Best career move I could have made.  Doubled my pay, better insurance, way, way, way better retirement benefits and get this........I am treated well and like a professional!  I just could take public education anymore.  Not the profession I went into many years ago.  Good luck my education friends.......don't think it will get much better.  May improve some but once you lose benefits, rights, etc. they tend to never come back.  Idiots in Indy make sure of that.

    So, how do you "professionalize" your license?

    Ok so I'm trying to think to myself why would the state require this of teachers? I guess to get more involved in the community, maybe? My question is if the state want to require PGP points come from specific areas of concentration then how come the state does not provide any PGP points for coaching? Or why wouldn't the state require teachers gain X amount of PGP points from coaching a sport, sponsoring a club, or doing x, y, z for students? I've heard multiple head coaches say the issue is schools are hiring teachers who show up at 8 AM and leave at 3 PM. I know a lot of this comes down to years of experience issues talked about above but it would be a way to get teachers who are already in the building involved in something.

    Good points. Most teaches i know and have talked too say it is not a 8-3 job. They spend numerous hours, after hours preparing for lessons, grading papers, etc. If the teacher that is only doing the 8-3 hours they can't not be effective in most cases.

    It's nice to see some objectivity.  I'm seriously considering going to the Catholic schools and working in a restaurant on the off hours.  I went to one and just visited one last year...still similar to 30 years ago as far as work ethic/discipline.  On another note,   I'm a friend of Dr. Bennett on Facebook.  We've gone our rounds.  He's either brainwashed or $ blind.  

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Catholic schools are pretty much funded by that certain church, not with tax payer money like these charter schools?

    Indiana is now requiring teachers to do additional work to renew license after July 1st. This is another great example of poor leadership at the education level of our great state. But I guess on the bright side, we can soon gamble on pro and college sporting events in Indiana and a few more casinos have been approved. Way to go INDIANA !!!

    A new law centered on Career and Technical Education (CTE) signed by Gov. Holcomb will make major changes to teacher Professional Growth Plans (PGP) beginning July 1.

    The changes come from HEA 1002. ISTA opposes this additional requirement of traditional public-school teachers. 

    For teachers who have not yet started their license renewal, we urge them to start the process in the Licensing Verification and Information System (LVIS) before July 1, to avoid this new PGP requirement for their next renewal.

    The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has issued guidance on the upcoming changes. As outlined:

    License holders starting a PGP for renewal in their Licensing Verification and Information System (LVIS) accounts after July 1, 2019 are required to complete 15 of the 90 PGP points required for renewal in one or more of these areas:

    • An externship with a company;
    • Professional development provided by the state, a local business, or a community partner that provides opportunities for school and employers to partner in promoting career navigation;
    • Professional development provided by the state, a local business, or a community partner that outlines:
      • current and future economic needs of the community, state, nation, and globe; and
      • ways in which current and future economic needs described in (A) can be disseminated to students.
    • Sad 1

    I’m not totally sure about the public/private school part...but yes. When are they going to address this issue.

    Ultimately, it’s our friends children, nephews, nieces, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and children that are hurt most by this. They deserve the best they can get and by underpaying educators, classrooms become more packed and the number of quality educators and role models thins. 

     

    In many ways, the issue is exponential and will only get worse until there is a breaking point.

    I have a family member that is an teacher at an Indiana public school and the things see tells me blows my mind sometimes about the ineptness and poor management of resources. The substitute teacher situation is a "laughing stock" as well. Tax payer money should not be funneled to private schools, the taxes need to go to public schools.

    Well, Indiana has been talking about how this is a problem for years. When are they going to do something about it?? I know teachers that have been in for 5-10 years and are still making less than 40K per year. Indiana's leaders should be embarrassed about this, lets see some pro-active measures to address this before it gets worse. They are losing teachers and funneling money from public schools to the private schools thanks to Pence and his crooked buddy Tony Bennett.

    I also need to add Daniels as a person that has hurt the Indiana public school system as well
