COMPETENCY 2 RIGOR AND INCLUSIVENESS
2a TAILORING
Tailoring is pretty important. I actually believe that it's something we do in Newark MUCH better than I have seen or experienced in most school districts around us. The MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember about tailoring is this...if ALL students in your class have access to it...then it is NOT tailoring.

Please accept this written statement from the American Federation of Teachers-New Hampshire (AFT-NH) regarding the proposed rules establishing the Learn Everywhere program. As staunch advocates of public education, AFT-NH is firmly opposed to the creation of the Learn Everywhere program.
As currently outlined, the Learn Everywhere program removes from local control the decisions regarding standards for credit-bearing activities and courses, thereby reversing longstanding New Hampshire tradition. As an organization representing educators who work closely with local administrators and school boards, AFT-NH rejects the centralization of authority over graduation standards and supports keeping it at the level closest to students, teachers, and citizens—the local level.

Milwaukee, WI--“Governor Evers is doing the right thing for Wisconsinites by moving forward to legalize medical marijuana.

The strike will begin on Tuesday, February 19 at 7:30 a.m. Here are some ways that you can show your support and solidarity:
