We have a behavior matrix. We don't follow it. Our brand new teachers may not even know it exists. Student behavior is egregious and while administration is super-busy doing all kinds of things, handling negative behaviors is not what's being addressed.

Curriculum is not modified for any of the learning gaps CCPS says they are aware students have from the pandemic cause the workload to become quite massive.

Nothing is being taken away. One area is data collection. Teachers are being asked to collect data on the same students for the same thing multiple ways. There needs to be some sort of way that things are streamlined better.

There needs to be more time set aside to actually focus on SEL. We jumped right into "normal" without anything being normal and students are getting lost and acting out.

As teachers take mental health days, they are placing an increased burden on staff members that do show up to work to cover for their class load. It's exceptionally difficult to get substitutes to come to our school buildings (for a variety of reasons), so when teachers are asked to cover for others, either by taking on extra students, or to cover extra classes, that adds to everyone's workload and stress.

# data[].attributes.body
There are too many expectations placed on to us. We brought to admin we are told to prioritize, but that means some stuff never gets done. Legally and realistically, what can be dropped or neglected without much consequence?

Central office needs to dispatch people to schools on a regular basis to assist with subbing.  I am at a small school.  Having 2-3 teachers out with no subs is as big a stretch as having 18 teachers out at a high school with no subs.  I spend every free period that is not a planning period covering classes many days of the week, and my elementary library program is suffering severely because I didn't have enough time to do all the things that needed to be done before COVID.  Programs suffer at small schools when subs don't show up.  Each school should have central office people working remotely from it every day!

There are multiple unfilled support staff positions at my school in the SPED department. It's spreading our staff thin on a daily basis and increasing workload

We are losing so many staff and gaining so many long term subs (when we can find long term subs). This puts a greater strain on everyone in the schools to train.

Aggressive student behavior, little being done to curb this teacher abuse

Absolutely agree with what was said above. I'm so excited they received this increase, but going into the next round of negotiations we need to be considered as well

There is some confusion about how you make sure you are getting the additional pay for subbing for another teacher.

Some content areas teach twice as many students daily in comparison to others that teach half daily.  More students and more transitions with more cleaning between classes due to COVID requirements.

The IM curriculum goes against everything the county has told us for the last multiple years -- no manipulatives; no flexible math groups; it is all worksheet based

Teachers need to be more involved in curriculum decisions and rollout plans. Hitting teachers with new curriculum at the beginning of the year and not giving them time to get to know it is not condusive to teacher workloads or successful delivery.

Teachers are constantly being told that we're not teaching math & reading (or other subjects). We're told that we're teaching kids how to be in schools again...

Except we're not.

We're not doing character building lessons, teaching kids how to interact with their peers in positive ways, teaching them how to get to classes on time, etc... We're pretending that this is what we're teaching kids, and it's gaslighting our staff members. If we're going to teach kids how to be in schools again, then let's stop instruction and just do it! However, if we're not going to teach kids how to be in schools, please stop telling people that's what we're doing. Stop pretending that we're doing things that we're not actually doing.

Ramifications of teaching in this new Covid impacted paradigm result in so much extra work: one example is erratic student attendance: makeup work, parent contact, extra help, documentation etc. The time needed to do the “usual work” is exponentially greater

# data[].attributes.body
student behaviors are being swept under the rug; we are being told that students are too early in the school year to be going through testing/ observations. we need to "give them a chance" to adjust to normalcy

# data[].attributes.body
When things are happening in our schools, staff members are not being kept in the loop. We find out from the kids that fights are happening. We find out from kids that students are bringing weapons into our schools. We find out through the grapevine what's going on, but we get no official notice (verbal or written) about what's happening in our buildings.

Are we all on the same team, or is Admin just trying not to panic us so that we don't take more mental health days? Please treat us like we're all on the same team.

There needs to be an updated list of duties of dept chairs. One is not provided to staff when they agree to be dept chair. The one Dawn was kind enough to provide is very dated.

Our special education ias are being pulled to sub multiple days a week. Therefore, our students are not receiving their interventions.

This element of our Negotiated Agreement is so nebulous and open that it can include nearly anything, and there is no limit to the number of "other duties as assigned" that can be piled on teachers' plates. There's also no equity in terms of making sure that it's spread out so that some members aren't asked to do disproportionately more than others.

We desperately need a defined affirmative list of what we can be asked to do (without any wiggle room to add non-negotiated items), and a defined limit to how many each teacher can individually be asked to do in any given school year.
