A lot of them haven't taught in years, sometimes they do not know the subject area. It is a waste of resources and our Union should stop the harassment and nonsense that the most experienced teaching workforce is submitted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-3680532470554920962015-10-13T14:32:41.824-04:002015-10-13T14:32:41.824-04:00Forget the political pressure pal.

ATRs are some of the best teachers in the NYCDOE system who just so happen to be in the pool due to idiot politicians like bloomberg and klein. Get smart and listen and know what is happening. Do not buy the koolaid pal think for yourself. The politicians are the same people who gave us common core. Politicians like arne duncan gave us more bullshit "political pressure" as you would say. Just remember, the ATR pool of teachers and guidance counselors are experience top notch professionals who for no fault of their own find themselves in limbo in the pool but hopefully when the bloomberg stench disappears from the nycdoe the pool will be just a distant memory.

Recently, I was asked to cover a class of autistic students. I am not certified Special Ed; there was no trained paraprofessional to assist me. One student, bright and verbal but very hostile and uncooperative wanted to know who I was. I was not his teacher, he stated repeatedly, and he was going to go home and tell his mother. Truth is, the school was violating those students' mandates to place me there, and I was caught right in the middle of this violation! This is what being forced to teach out of ones certification can lead to; in a word: anything goes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-79206226840156609352015-10-12T09:46:12.243-04:002015-10-12T09:46:12.243-04:00The ATRs that have been forced placed (this year ...The ATRs that have been forced placed (this year and last) are in nightmare schools. Every June all force placed ATRs are put back into the ATR pool. Most got effective ratings. Two ATRs who have taught Math at the high school level for over twenty years have been forced placed into 6th grade Math. The UFT said it was acceptable to teach 1year below your license area. Its just another move to get people to resign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-82647949288675162642015-10-12T08:11:41.187-04:002015-10-12T08:11:41.187-04:00If you're an ATR, jump at any forced p...If you're an ATR, jump at any forced placement you get. There is tremendous political pressure to get rid of the ATRs. Think of the game musical chairs. Forced placement is what the policy used to be before 2005. People didn't have a choice. Most members were able to accept the positions when they were excessed and succeed in their new schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-27922098166835691832015-10-11T20:35:21.266-04:002015-10-11T20:35:21.266-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-27658600430289821582015-10-11T20:00:54.175-04:002015-10-11T20:00:54.175-04:00Hi 89artroom, You can send your question to atrnyc...Hi 89artroom, You can send your question to atrnyc@gmail.com, or you can send your question to Amy Arundell at aarundell@uft.orgATRshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980651223972002550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-52337942934532191662015-10-11T16:50:17.755-04:002015-10-11T16:50:17.755-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494767965842074971.post-70872244908879508672015-10-11T14:25:56.033-04:002015-10-11T14:25:56.033-04:00Hello,

In case not... here is my question: <br /><br />I have been hired for the year and signed the provisional agreement. Then, a week ago, I was called by a school where I would love to work and they offered me a permanent position. I was told by the 'new' principal that she called HR and the central offices and was told that since she is offering me a permanent position and therefore taking me onto her own staffing budget, that her offer trumps the provisional agreement I have signed. Now, the 'current' principal says No, he won't agree to let me go, and that I was misinformed. Where do I stand here? Both principals claim to know what they are talking about and I don't want to do the wrong thing. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
