Teachers Needed To Participate in Jacksonville
|
Posted By: William Jackson on April 26, 2012 Teachers, Out of several thousand teachers in DCPS there are only 180 teachers registered for the event TEACHER TOWN HALL Please Register @ [url]floridateachertownhall.eventbrite.com[/url] This is an opportunity to bring to light the professional concerns to increasing graduation rates across the state and voice to the learning challenges that students face. If teachers do not voice their professional concerns, the challenges students face in the community, in the schools and with societal influences students will continue to drop out and the rates may increase. A student’s educational foundation starts at home, but in many cases parents are not aware of services provided to help their children. Students in high school need as much if not more that when they were in elementary and middle school. The educational dynamics change from year to year and many students struggle just to keep up. The Teacher Town Hall is a great opportunity for educators to SPEAK and for them to be heard.… If only a select few participate this sends a message that the majority of educators are satisfied with the status qou and there does not need to be modifications to increase the graduation rates of students. Educators we are happy and content with the achievements of our high school students and nothing else needs to be done. History has shown that when the educational systems of countries decline then economic stability declines, cultural value of education and moral importance of education falls and the socio-economic foundations begin to crumble. The results are lower tax support for schools, law enforcement and other social assistance that rely on a foundational tax base supported by employed workers that pay taxes and are educated to work and pay the taxes that support our services. Make the effort to attend and provide your voice and support growth of the graduation rate in our school system. Education influences the very foundation of a communities advance or decline. PARTICIPATE IN THE TEACHER TOWN HALL Addressing Florida’s Dropout Rate Teachers, Let your voice be heard!!! Saturday, April 28th 9:00am to 12:00pm at WJCT Studios 100 Festival Park Ave Jacksonville, Florida 32202 Moderated by Al Letson NPR’s State of the Re:Union Please Register @ floridateachertownhall.eventbrite.com Please provide feedback on the active Blog about this event Jacksonville.com http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/40055...
