It's a do-nothing job, just as the "job" of one of the supervisors of this position which is held by the worthless sack of shit who illegally fired me and was moved around until she found a "job" in the central office. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the asshole who harassed me at Sparks Middle and was later demoted to teacher gets THIS opening.
Wouldn't THAT be cute? Two assholes in the same office when they BOTH should be unemployed.
This is a grant pushed by the likes of Duncan and Obama which GUARANTEES failure. No "incentive" or "merit pay" program has ever worked for a school district in the history of the country. This "grant" is about harassing higher-paid teachers or older teachers out of a job by coming up with some bogus rubric describing what is an "effective" teacher and an "ineffective" teacher. After all, the site administrator or principal can simply call somebody "ineffective" and get him or her out. No truth is needed.
Trust me on that one. These assholes come up with this stuff all the time, and teachers have no protections from it.
