A CRY FOR HELP: New York teacher-advocacy group Educators 4 Excellence (E4E) is calling for practical improvements for Common Core rollouts, including a plan for teachers to exchange a week of summer break for “intensive” CCSS training. Right as NYC and teachers’ unions are negotiating new contracts, E4E released a report in which 7,000 NYC teachers (and members of E4E) request a paid week of summer PD, fixes to the new teacher evaluation system, and more.
