New Legislation Affecting Alabama Teachers & Students

New Legislation Affecting Alabama Teachers & Students

Presented by OLLI of Greater Birmingham at Vestavia Hills Civic Center & Wald Park

OLLI of Greater Birmingham presents New Legislation Affecting Alabama’s Teachers and Students with presenter Larry Lee, author and blogger on Alabama education.  Learn about the Alabama Accountability Act, Charter Schools, Common Core, and the proposed RAISE/PREP Act: how they affect teachers, students, funding, and education outcomes.  Learn abut changes in tenure, salaries, teachers with teaching certification versus adjunct teachers (those with a specialy the school needs but without teacher certification).  Alabama is losing teachers and schools are having a hard time filling classrooms.  Is the focus on teaching to the test and judging teachers by student test scores, plus lack of adequate resources, part of the reason?
