WE BELIEVE. . . .
Great Public Schools focus on:
- Children's well-being
- Powerful learning
- Supporting strong teachers
- Learning environments where all voices are heard.
- Fair compensation that attracts and retains highly qualified employees.
Great Public Schools focus on:
· A student:teacher ratio that supports teaching and learning. All students need some one on one or small group learning opportunities; these are less possible with larger class-sizes
· Focused academic support: when a student is not learning, what can be done? Are there reading, writing, math and science specialists available for learning support? How quickly is the support available? What is available for my child?
Quincy Federation of Teachers Local 809 is seeking members interested in becoming Educational Research and Dissemination Trainers. Each year the QFT, with the assistance of the ER&D Program sponsored by the AFT, trains three members in one or two of the ER&D modules. We presently have trainers in Foundations of Effective Teaching 1 and Managing Antisocial Behavior.
