It looks like tomorrow is bad for almost everyone. I'll use the time to
draft the issues that we have. If everyone could contribute their ideas,
I'll try to organize them into manageable points with some details. I'll
begin with what has already been shared on this list. Please send your
thoughts and issues, even if they are not organized as I'm sure there will
be commonalities across our institutions.
Our attorney reached out early this am to the CPS attorney and got an "out
of office." She will keep trying. I'll probably give Leslie a call
tomorrow.
Please send what you can as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Maureen

The only time I have available before 9/2 is this Friday between 1 and 3.
Are there others who could meet to begin to put together a list is issues?
I cannot even begin to fathom CPS doing all of the student teaching
placements beginning on 1/1/5!

Hello all,
We are in the same boat. Interns started this week for us. I'm unable to
make the meeting on the 2nd (first day of school!), but look forward to the
hearing more about this conversation.

Greetings all –
Yes this contract deadline caught us and there are issues. We have interns
beginning Monday August 25 so we agreed and signed the contract. I would
welcome the conversation post signing as CPS can have influence on other
districts. Kevin Brandon

DEAR CCADERs,
I am writing about an urgent, time-sensitive matter - the CPS Student
Teaching Contract that you all should have received a little over a week
ago.
I am sure that some of you will get this e-mail when you have asked to be
removed from the list. I am sorry that Pam and I have not cleaned up the
list but feel free to weigh in.
There are several issues that could be raised about the additions to the
contract but the ones below are a start. CPS is asking for the signed
contract back by 8/25 (Monday!) or they say that our candidates will not be
allowed to begin student teaching.
Since we are not meeting until 9/2, I am writing to ask how you would like
to handle this. I am certainly willing to have the NEIU attorney give CPS
a call and see if we can buy some time. We could ask for a meeting with
Barbara Byrd-Bennett.
The last time the contract has so many issues in it, many of you will
recall that this galvanized us and we met with Arne Duncan. Let me know
what you think as time is very short. I have been negligent in reading it
carefully but plan to do so this afternoon. This deadline snuck up on me
so it may have happened to you.

Hello, Melissa and Maureen,
I am not certain if this is helpful, but I wanted to share with you other
universities' concerns regarding the new CPS agreement as well as Leslie
Ackerman's comment.
Thank you,

I have expected someone from this group to raise the alarm about the
contents of the new CPS agreement we are supposed to have signed and
returned to CPS by Monday, August 25. I am attaching our agreement in case
you have not seen yours yet. I received it last Wednesday, August 13.
I sent a message to Leslie Ackerman and just spoke with her on the phone
about these issues:
- p. 4 THE PROGRAM (1st paragraph): "Placements will be coordinated by
the CPS Student Teaching Program.....Each student placed in CPS....will be
evaluated utilizing the Board's REACH evaluation system."
- How will CPS "coordinate" placements? When will this begin?
- The REACH evaluation system is much too in-depth to be used in a
14-week program with student teachers who have limited freedom. How will
this work?
- p. 5 SCHOOL PLACEMENT (1st paragraph): "CPS will determine eligible
schools and eligible cooperating teachers for student teacher placements."
- How?
- What about the relationships we have worked hard to establish with
schools, principals, and teachers?
- Will travel distance and access to public transportation be
considered?
-
- p. 7 G. UNIVERSITY EVALUATIONS: "University shall provide a copy
of the Academic Progress Assessment template to CPS for review prior to
disseminating to CPS Cooperating Teachers. Academic Progress Assessments
should align with the CPS Framework for Teaching and the REACH evaluation
system."
- When and how will we send all of the evaluation forms to CPS? How
quickly will be get the "OK" from CPS to use them?
- Our student teachers come from five different states and each has
their own evaluation criteria based on their state requirements. What if
the state does not align with the CPS Framework for teaching and REACH?
Leslie told me that CPS wants to move quickly on all of this, but a real
plan is not in place.
Have your institutions signed this? Do we have other option?
Please "reply to all" your responses.
Thanks!
Lisa
