Surplus teacher management system

This report is the first in a series examining the magnitude of the teacher shortage and the working conditions and other factors that contribute to the shortage. What this report finds: The teacher shortage is real, large and growing, and worse than we thought. When indicators of teacher quality (certification, relevant training, experience, etc.) are taken into account, the shortage is even more acute than currently estimated, with high-poverty schools suffering the most from the shortage of credentialed teachers. Why it matters: A shortage of teachers harms students, teachers, and the public education system as a whole. Lack of sufficient, qualified teachers and staff instability threaten students’ ability to learn and reduce teachers’ effectiveness, and high teacher turnover consumes economic resources that could be better deployed elsewhere. The teacher shortage makes it more difficult to build a solid reputation for teaching and to professionalize it, which further contributes to perpetuating the shortage. In addition, the fact that the shortage is distributed so unevenly among students of different socioeconomic backgrounds challenges the U.S. education system’s goal of providing a sound education equitably to all children. What we can do about it: Tackle the working conditions and other factors that are prompting teachers to quit and dissuading people from entering the profession, thus making it harder for school districts to retain and attract highly qualified tea...

Higher education is fighting an uphill battle with surplus waste and management. The tracking, cataloging, storage, and distribution of physical assets require connectivity between teams of surplus/facilities managers & departmental stakeholders, in addition to outside vendors, charities and other third-party organizations. Making matters more difficult, the systems to manage purchasing policies and surplus property, especially on campuses with lofty zero-waste to landfill goals, are proving to be extremely difficult to navigate for procurement teams and sustainability officers. This is especially true for institutions using outdated technologies or ERP systems of old that were built to track resources rather than create as much value as possible from remaining products and their constituent parts & materials. Institutional asset management systems were not built for the To navigate these challenges, some universities leverage surplus property and warehousing programs. The University of Minnesota Reuse Program, for example has a Yet, even these well-oiled machines cannot handle all surplus (in the case of CSU, they divert 55.1% of solid waste from the landfill). There remains a considerable amount of waste (especially plastics and R&D consumables/non-capital equipment) that is often stored away (or worse — thrown away). Similarly, institutions without an established surplus program (for instance, private research institutions) attempt to navigate the surplus problem throug...

Clark County School District administration building located at 5100 West Sahara Ave. in Las Vegas on Tuesday, May 23, 2017. Richard Brian Las Vegas Review-Journal @vegasphotograph The Clark County School District is reassigning as many as 78 employees based primarily on student enrollment and program changes. The school district, which has approximately 42,000 employees, held meetings Wednesday for affected support staff employees and Thursday for licensed employees. At the sessions, workers were able to choose from hundreds of vacant jobs at other schools during what is known as the “surplus” process. Of those impacted, approximately 55 are licensed employees — including teachers — and 23 are support staff, according to the district. The number of licensed employees may fluctuate since the second meeting hadn’t yet occurred when a district spokesman provided an update Thursday afternoon. Affected employees are involuntarily shifted to other campuses or positions if their school has a drop in student numbers as of a fall “count day.” Reassignments are for the remainder of the school year. At the meeting for support professionals, the district made clear that employees must select from available positions for which they’re qualified and eligible. “Should no lateral position be available, the employee may select a position at a lower pay grade,” it said in a presentation. If a lateral position is available and an employee is qualified but declines, “The employee has in effe...

Teachers are the backbone of the education sector. They are the ones who provide the service that keeps schools up and running. More than that, they can be the reason why some students prefer to stay in their schools. These are some of the reasons why they deserve Definition of Teacher Management Systems First and foremost, teacher management is an essential human resource facet that bridges the administration and teachers. It primarily handles the acquisition, training, and retention of the school’s teaching staff. Contrary to common belief, the role of teacher management is as constant as the other academic departments, especially for the retention part. To aid in all of these processes, teacher management systems are software systems that automate said functions. Much like school portals for students, teachers can log in to these sites where they can access all necessary data. Let’s get to know more about this particular management system. Facets of a Teacher Management System Database The most important use of a teacher management system is its function as an all-in-one database. First of all, the system will safely keep the employee’s personal details. It includes several sensitive data needed for This system will render written student records useless. The list of all the students and classes that a teacher will handle is in the management system. Consequently, several academic details of their student are also in the system. Their grades, exam marks, and attendance ...
