We've been a little quiet here at the School Notes Blog this summer but things have not been quiet at the MCEA Center. We've been working on a number of projects as the new school year approaches.
* MCEA staff and leadership spent several days in June reflecting on the happenings of last year and started planning for our programs for the upcoming year.
* Our President, Doug Prouty spoke on a panel about teacher evaluations at the NEA Convention and many of our members were at the Convention as delegates representing the Association.
* We've been busy getting ready for New Educator Orientation to welcome hundreds of new colleagues into MCPS next week.
* Last week, MCEA hosted and led trainings for new teachers and this week we have the launch for this year's class of National Board candidates.
* With the November election rapidly approaching, we have been planning our community outreach events for the fall. There are several campaigns that MCEA is involved with this year including the Marriage Equality Act and the Maryland DREAM Act.
* As always, school funding at the state and local level is a major concern for MCEA and we will be working to ensure that the state and county maintain their commitments to the world-class education our members provide.
* Doug, Chris and all of the UniServ Director's will be out visiting schools during the pre-service week to catch our members up on the changes coming from the recently ratified contract and our plans for this year's negotiations (which is only on financials) and member engagement.
With the return to school only two weeks away, we hope you have a restful remainder of summer!!
