Education Listening Session Information -
Sponsored by the House Education Committee
The House Education Committee has announced legislative listening sessions throughout the state over the course of 2016. The second of these sessions is scheduled for Thursday, July 28 in Watkinsville, GA.
In preparation for the 2017 legislative session and the debate on the Education Reform Commission's pay for performance and Move on When Ready recommendations, it is very important that educators attend these meetings. Please come prepared to discuss these issues as well as issues surrounding the ongoing debate about the appropriate level of student testing. These issues, coupled with the critical topic of reading instruction, will all be topics of discussion and legislation in January, and educator input is needed NOW. Please be candid with your comments - it is important that legislators hear what is happening in Georgia's classrooms.
Your participation is important and will help the House and Senate Committees identify the key issues and solutions from teachers on these important matters. Please tell your fellow teachers about this vital meeting and encourage them to attend.
