Recertification
If you need to recertify this year, consult the
official DOE recertification guidelines and this
summary prepared by Barbara Bitgood for the NASE.
Contract Negotiations
The NASE is now forming negotiating teams for each chapter. Anyone interested
should contact Sharon Carlson at scarlsonjfk at her
gmail.com address. Please include your name, school, and chapter. The
NASE is also looking for people from each chapter to serve on another chapter’s
negotiating team. For example, an ESP who also serves on the teacher
negotiating team, so that any conflicts of interest can be identified as they
occur. The time commitment varies from contract to contract, but one could
expect to attend a 2-3 hour meeting twice a month, with a bit more of a
commitment as the two sides come close to an agreement and the final details
need to be hammered out.
