Celebratory email

Did you get the "celebratory email from the UFT" that this gothamschools.org article refers to?  Maybe that should be the next blog poll.

Is confusion reigning?  Seems calm at the lake here, just a few frogs croaking...

    I did not get that email and would like to post the truth about how Namita Dwarka handled changing the school. I propose that the next post be titled "The impact of Namita." People could respond with their experiences or what they know regarding the illegal things she did (ie. grade changes, falsifying data, and falsifying observations by lying about what she saw in people's classrooms, like claiming rubrics weren't used when they were, so she could fire this person she saw as a threat). This is all in addition to spending money on programs that are suitable to elementary and middle school students, not high school. Programs the students had already completed and did not want to see again because they were so awful and boring. Thousands of dollars were wasted on achieve3000 and other poor administrative choices.

      Tweed has no clue of what they are doing, sending leadership principals to destroy schools like Ms. Dwarka of W.C. Bryant High School, rating veteran teachers u who are satisfactory while using the Danielson Model to rate the teachers when the UFT has not agreed to this model. They want a new evaluation system to make it easier to fire veteran teachers and replace them by younger teachers, get rid of experienced teachers since they are expensive. it is called discrimination.
      How many assistant principals were pushe out in a year? 9 over 40

    Then there's the anxiety and panic attacks we all suffered because you knew she was writing people up for things like not having a lesson plan for a test or speaking politely to a teacher as they left a classroom you were coming in to use. This is not hyperbole. This happened.

      There should be a page called quotes by Dwarka! There have been so many inappropriate statements from a supposed professional! Ms. Dwarka is not only incompetent, but highly slanderous when it comes to "talking" about her colleagues! Which is a pun on words! We are not treated as professionals, but as her peons that need to take what she says as truth or be brutalized. This needs to be put out there! If anyone has any comments that have been heard or said to them let's post them!

      My personal favorite is when she called Bryant a "fuck house" because a few of the teachers were dating. Very befitting language from a true professional. And in case she's reading this I'm using irony. It's a literary device that you would've been aware of if you weren't such a terrible teacher.

      You mean how we all know that she slept with the principal there? Yup. Very unfortunate that she didn't focus on improving Bryant and instead harassed employees about sick days they rightfully took and gossiped about the personal lives of other teachers. If she had focused on the school, no one would care about her past to even mock it here. But, after a year of her, this is best catharsis we may ever get- feeling vindicated by pointing out her hypocriticalness anonymously here.

    Turnasomething from Gene the Organizer's email
    Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he plans to “target management” at the 24 Turnaround schools in an effort to reform them.
    "Well you can change programs, you can change the management in some cases, you can do things like that. And you know, we're going to really focus on them," the mayor said on his Friday radio show. "We've got to do everything we can for those 30,000 kids to try to ameliorate the damage."
    Mayor Bloomberg also said the ruling is as bad for the school system as protecting teachers who abuse children.


    Ameliorate the damage that he inflicted. The mayor is likening the ruling that put us back in the classroom to the protection of pedophiles! Why has there been no public outcry! This is slander and libel. Where is the union? Why is he allowed to get away with this?

The school's statistics and future is not going to hinge on our cooperation with Broomhilda. We already work as hard as we can with the kids. Graduation rates aren't gong to shoot to 85% because we give in to Satan's Mistress. If you don't vote down every single comp time position you are as stupid as Tanalski is. And tell your friends who don't read their email: vote NO to EVERYTHING. All teachers should be in classrooms teaching their 5 periods. This is how our graduation rates will go up. Let Broomhilda and her disgruntled AP's improve the school the tried and true way: Pre Observation 46 min Observation Post Observation and Meaningful Follow Up. Exit Slips, teacher leaders, Houses, data are all GIMMICKS for her to show the DOE she knows what she's doing which she doesn't. And if so then let her fall on her face so the DOE can transfer her to her next victims. Sam has it mixed up. Dwar-kaka needs to cooperate with US. And Sam do the world a favor and go away. You are part of the problem!

    What is the track record of the Leadership Academy principals? How have these principals trained in the methods of CEOs a la Jack Welch have led their schools to greatness? Why is everyone ignoring the miserable failure of this Leadership Academy? I suppose it is easier to blame federal regulations, bad teachers and budget cuts. Should someone ask Jack Welsh what he thinks about the Principals who have supposedly been trained in his ways.

    Across the United States, veteran educators are facing a growing problem of age discrimination.

    Last year, Tempe Elementary School District No. 3 in Tucson, Arizona, discriminated against employees on the basis of age when it applied an early retirement incentive plan which granted greater economic benefits to younger employees based upon their age.

    In North Carolina, a public school teacher was denied a promotion to assistant principal because of her age. She eventually won a $25,000 settlement after a lawsuit was filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

    In 2009, EEOC filed an amicus brief in a case from Oklahoma City, successfully arguing that the trial court was wrong to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit by an older educator who had been demoted because of her age.

    The National Education Association denounces blatant age discrimination as more and more veteran educators are targeted for dismissal by school superintendents and administrators. In many cases, school officials use the guise of “improvement plans” to harass veteran educators without taking into account the countless contributions they have made to public education.

    Educators who have been discriminated against because of their age can find solace and legal protection in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects teachers age 40 and over against age discrimination. Under this act, age may not be the sole factor when a school district terminates the employment of a teacher. If a teacher charges a school district with age discrimination, the school district has the burden to show that some factor other than age influenced its decision.

    This law, administered by EEOC, helps to protect this group of educators who either apply for a position or are already employed. In accordance with ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his/her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment. This includes, but is not limited to, hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments and training. The Older Workers Benefit Protections Act amended several sections of the ADEA.

    In Tucson, a lawsuit by EEOC against Tempe Elementary School District alleges that the school district maintained an early retirement incentive plan that was unlawful. Specifically, the EEOC charges that the school district’s plan is discriminatory because it grants more favorable benefits to younger employees based on their age. Under the school district’s retirement plan, employees are reimbursed for accumulated leave based on their age at retirement, with those retiring at a younger age being treated more favorably than those who retire after age 60.

    “Early retirement incentive plans which discriminate on their face based upon age are illegal and need to be changed,” said EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O’Neill. “People in their ‘60s should not be penalized merely because they want to continue working.”

    How it happened is that Bryant is full of racist people with their own agenda's that get way with being incompetent, unprofessional and inappropriate!!!!

    Bryant HS has encouraged nepatism for years....but netpatism of whom....the lazy,the most incompetent, unprofessional and inappropriate people ( Namita Dwarka, Guy Yacovone, Lisa Diaz-Rodriguez, Christopher Pelliettri and Adam Tanalski )all of which have been connect!

    How did this happen folks.......is that Bryant HS is full of racist and self centered idiot people with their own agenda's that are willing to do anything to continue to get away with doing the wrong things of course things that are in their own best interest......things that have nothing to do with the education of children. In fact it has been to the direr ament to many children that these people had been given administrative positions!

    Wasn't it the Bryant HS staff that gave that idiot a standing ovation.....an idiot that barely graduated from Bryant HS.......the women that was a horrendous student, an ineffective teacher and a bad dean!!! The same idiot that has been 6 different places in 7 years. The same person that has received 2 U ratings!!!

    She demoralizes most and then praises some in order to gain some idiot followers ( how grown people can fall for the tactics of her false praise to gain followers.. Is pathetic) not to mention the that fact is that everything else she does is in contradiction with the praise that she gave you prior.....it's called being bipolar!!

    With few exceptions most of the AP's spent a year protecting you from the biggest idiot to be named principal in the city of New York!!!!

    Yet The AP's left and all of you sat idly by and watched it happen!! You did nothing because again you are so self that some of you were glad and some of you were thinking how you could benefit from the absence of supervisors!!!! Who's benefitting now????

    The Bryant HS community is extremely selfish...the children hate her ( yet they do nothing), the parents know how horrible she is ( yet they do nothing because she caters to two parents that are on the PTA so if it doesn't involve their kid specifically they don't care.....selfish ) and staff is getting sick because if her ( yet they do nothing )..... no one can get it together long enough to get her out because of the selfishness!!! Has long as she's their everyone loses!!!

    Unfortunately, Bryant HS believes that certain people are entitled to get away with doing the wrong thing.....shame on all of you!!!

    Its so sad because Bryant HS used to be a good school full of potential for greatness....she's truly stolen all it's potential for greatness!!!

    You are absolutely right about the "as long as it ain't me" attitude that plagues the staff. Where ever you turn whomever you speak to everyone is in agreement that this moron of a principal is destroying our school. Yet no one has the courage and strength to rally together and do something to stop her. Look at something anonymous and simple as the voting!!!! (Sam Lazarus is completely responsible for that, he should burn in hell for what he's done, but I digress).

    You hit the nail right on the head about the losers who fall for the false praise she showers them with. Just so she can garner some gullible suporters (Tara, April, Joe, Luke, Jay...) who she really doesn't care if they live or die as long as she feeds into their inferiority complexes.

    And you are on the money regarding the conspiracy of the White Old Fart Club who put the school into this schizophrenic's hands. Tanalski and Yacavone could never carry the burden of running a school on their own. We all know how incompetent, lazy, and stupid they both are. So they invited the closest power-thirsty incompetent they could control to do it for them. We all know how miserable they were under Perez who caught on to their shady ways and made them sweat and quiver.
    They couldn't wait for him to get out of the way so they could go back to being the head roosters in the hen house.

    And of course people are just plain scared. They know she will U-rate anyone who speaks up or anything else vindictive she can think of. And yes some are even selfish and don't want to endanger losing their cushy comp time. How can certain people justify having 2,3, even 4 periods off doing "jobs" that really require a fraction of that time!!!!
    And no one really supervises these comp time jobs actively to see the waste of resources. Who cares to? No one! Yacavone is the one who should but he doesn't even care to see what goes on outside his little cubicle.

    Principal axed over bogus teacher evals
    By YOAV GONEN Education Reporter
    Last Updated: 9:57 AM, April 8, 2013
    Posted: 12:57 AM, April 8, 2013


    A Manhattan elementary-school principal ordered his subordinates to fabricate teacher ratings — because he simply neglected to do the reviews in the first place, city documents show.

    PS 166 Principal Richard Ronga was canned earlier this year after an independent hearing officer found him guilty of “egregious acts of fraud and deceit,” making him the second principal in three years to be disciplined for fudging teacher reviews.

    The ruling was delayed by years because of medical leaves that were granted to Ronga, who also tried to prevent his dismissal by battling the city’s Department of Education in court.



    Rob Rich/SocietyAllure.com

    Richard Ronga

    In January, an independent arbitrator found that Ronga had ordered teachers at the Upper West Side elementary school to conduct as many as a dozen observations of their fellow educators — even though they were not qualified to do so.

    Ronga, who was principal for three years, also had them fabricate as many as seven observations that never happened, meaning those teachers were rated, in part, on lessons that they hadn’t actually provided.

    “His actions affected not only himself but also his subordinate employees, including those he made part of his deception,” according to arbitrator Patricia Cullen’s written report.

    “More importantly, his dishonesty adversely affected the teachers at PS 166, who were deprived of real observations and observations by qualified supervisors.”

    Ronga had the ratings fabricated in a panicked response to the superintendent’s having asked him to produce hosts of teacher observations in the spring of 2008 that he hadn’t actually conducted, according to the city’s documents.

    Ronga’s lawyer called the educator an “exemplary principal” and said there was more behind his firing than teacher observations.

    “From the beginning to the end of his service, a 30-year period, Dr. Ronga never received lower than the highest evaluation on his annual performance reviews,” said the attorney, Stuart Lichten.

    “The campaign to remove him as principal began when he refused to give a patronage appointment to the husband of the former superintendent.”

    Principals cannot order Us from the office to APs for certain teachers when they are working hard from her office. She pushed out 9 assistant principals already and is not changing her management style, she is destroying everybody who gets in her way, changing grades, forcing APs to change ratings on teachers observed, not being in compliance with special education legislation, not giving specific pre-observations.

The same people that offered him the coordinators position are the same people that took the senior advisor position the prior year!!! Pathetic!!!

    Frankson is another none accepting of herself and all of her issues! Frankson spent all year conspiring, plotting, being in on meeting, and not sharing it with her colleagues! Please note: Frankson how could you be an quasi effective supervisor when you aren't even a good counselor!! Maybe you would have a fighting chance if you learned to relate to people..which FYI is an essential component to be an effective educator!!! We are not in the military..you know where the policy is don't ask don't tell! You don't have to tell because we already know!

    I am not a teacher nor do I work for the Dept. of Education but I have family and friends who are tenured teachers and I hear this type of behavior from principals on a daily basis. One particular school in Coney Island has a principal to blatantly violates chancellors rules and yet if a teacher speaks up they become the principals target. The principal has been heard of saying, and I quote “We have ways of dealing with teachers we don’t like”, and that couldn’t be more true. Teachers who have received nothing but S’s on their rating year after year all of a sudden start getting U’s. Letters in their file for nonsense, being made to follow rules that appear not to be enforced for others. In one situation the principal has been heard coercing students into writing false statements. The HARASSMENT in unbearable and it forces teacher to retire early and or leave, if their record hasn’t been tarnished too much. Principals are given way too much power. They become the judge, jury and executioner, teachers have no chance. These are careers we’re talking about; you can’t give principals the authority to destroy someone’s life… Teacher have to unite.. Class Action Law Suit anyone????

    Following the accident, a representative of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration told WBNS the Maryland-based company operating the charter bus had not responded to three recent letters requesting a compliance audit.

    Why didn't the principal investigate this bus Company?

    The company, which was believed to have been operating the bus under the name Platinum Magic Carpet Ride LLC, had been issued a warning by the State of Maryland about a potential license revocation within 10 days, WBNS reported. Plans were under way for a mandatory inspection prior to the crash, the station reported.

    The cause of the accident remained under investigation late Sunday.

    How can she go after her own physical teacher? What happened? He became incompetent after so many years. Maybe she is trying to get rid of somebody who is making too much money, and the UFT we do not know if they even want to defend us. Maybe the UFT is giving her a blank check.
    Do not stop discriminating against age discrimination because this is what really is going on, and we can go forward with the lawsuit.

    Here is the hitch: Principals in NYC always have had the freedom to "use" any type of "evaluation" system that they choose when they perform an official observation. However, they must still rate a teacher either S or U regardless of what "evaluation" system they choose In simple terms, most old school, regular, principals who have years of teaching experience will simply observe a teacher and give guided feedback to the teacher that they observed. The problem is that many Leadership Academy principals and DOE cronie principals are "using" the Danielson Framework to nit pick minor details as a way to get rid of veteran teachers. The sad reality is that there is really nothing much that the UFT or a teacher can do or say to question what evaluation "system" a principal uses. It is up to the principal to decide how to evaluate a teacher but that principal MUST still use the S or U system until a new evaluation system goes into effect and then teachers will be rated either ineffective, developing, effective, or highly effective. It sounds like semantics but at the end of the day, principals have always had the power to rate teachers as they please and ya' can't grieve a U rating in this day and age. My suggestion is to do your best to transfer to a school with an old school principal who has a mind of his or her own. (Even though we all know that the open market transfer system is a joke)

    New York’s Teachers’ Rights 3020-a Hearing Attorneys

    Under state and federal law, teachers have certain rights, especially in regard to disciplinary proceedings that involve allegations of wrongdoing, incompetence, or poor performance in the classroom. In New York, the terms and conditions of a teacher’s employment are generally determined by state law. As a result, there are specific procedures that must be followed regarding the hiring, firing, and evaluation of teachers. Teachers who are tenured are also granted specific procedural rights and protections that stem from due process clauses within the law as well as their collective bargaining agreements.

    When disciplinary matters arise, Districts must proceed according to the requirements laid out in New York Education Law §3020-a. Unfortunately, 3020-a hearings have frequently been used by Districts as a “paper trail” mechanism designed to conceal discrimination on the part of school districts that simply want to fire a teacher for unlawful reasons.

    If you’re a teacher and have been the target of harassment and discrimination, it’s important to understand what your legal rights and options are prior to a 3020-a hearing. To protect your interests and learn how we can help you, contact teachers’ rights attorneys at Leeds Brown Law P.C. today.

    How can she use coordinators whose positions we did not vote for in a SBO to write observations, conduct pre-observations and post-observations. Are they getting paid an assistant principal's salary? Somebody may like this principal since she is breaking every rule in the contract, without mentioning that she is not in compliance with special education legislation. Maybe the UFT is supporting her too.

    The Relentless Quest for Excellence is not about passing students who do not deserve it. it is not about harassing teachers or rating veteran teachers unsatisfactory because they have become too expensive, nor is about changing grades or harassing assistant principals to change observation ratings on veteran teachers. It is not about impressing Tweed by using APAX as a credit recovery program so students who were not taught to put effort in the classes can pass with a few clicks, so Tweed can be happy. It is about creating a system where students learn and are prepared for today's world and that can only be done when you have a leader in charge of the school, not when you have an insecure principal who feels intimidated by intelligent people and goes after people that may help her to build a better school. Only leaders can create a good school, and inspire students to learn. Only leaders can appreciate the work of a good staff. Unfortunately with this principal's regime and her games that is not where we are headed.

    W.C. Bryant High School was a good school to work until Ms. Dwarka became principal. Now the only thing the administration does is go after veteran teachers, chase out teachers and intimidate them. How can demoralizing and putting down professionals with a good track record be beneficial for this school? That is their idea of turnaround make these leadership principals so powerful that students that do not deserve to pass will pass. and everybody will feel miserable to go to work under that kind of principals

    Ms. Dwarka has rated veteran teachers unsatisfactory in order to win her sympathy from Tweed, she is pushing veteran teachers out and has pushed good assistant principals out. It is called engaging in age discrimination, when you constantly target the veteran teachers and hire inexperienced teachers while there are experienced ATRS with no positions. An investigation is on the way, we will not stop until all the corruption of the last 2 years is out. How come all these veteran teachers worked for many years under different supervisors and were never rated unsatisfactory? She rates teachers with good statistics because of personal grudges or dislikes. This is totally destructive and unacceptable.
