The Denver Board of Education will soon vote on the Proposal for Standard Teacher Rights and Protections. Here's why one teacher thinks it's a bad idea.
. The proposal would direct the superintendent to develop policies that would significantly limit an innovation school’s ability to use flexibility to do what’s in the best interest of teachers, students and families.However, in doing so, it would make it more difficult for innovation schools to end annual contracts with teachers who do not advance academic outcomes for students.
The Proposal for Standard Teachers Rights and Protections exploits support for educators and the Denver teachers union. Under the guise of “rights and protections,” it perpetuates an unhelpful “us-versus-them” narrative that implies opposition to the policy is equal to opposition to fundamental supports for teachers. I am a teacher. I value my team members. I want them to be successful, and I want high-quality professional development and coaching for them.
This would gut a core component of an innovation school's ability to better serve its students, families and communities — and there's no clear or valid reason why the proposal would do this. Over time, flexibility in planning helped us move Trevista from “red” to “green” on the district’s School Performance Framework. It didn’t happen overnight, but the progress was the result of our ability to innovate.
