As teachers are excessed, the bureaucracy continues to grow....


As news spreads of large numbers of teachers are being “excessed” throughout the system because of the budget cuts, DOE is still hiring new “teams” of “talent coaches” (under the titles ofSenior Educational Research, Evaluation & Program Planning Specialist, Liii-Ea40),: each of whom will coach school leaders (6-8 schools) on implementation of a pilot teacher evaluation and development system, under the supervisions of “lead talent coaches”. Salaries will be $97,199 per year.
Talent “coaches” will engage with “network-based Talent Managers” to “inform development of systems and tools to support teacher evaluation and development across a network of 20 schools.”
