Career Day at Battle Creek Middle School! by John Mueller Thanks for the invitation to participate in your Career Day at Battle Creek on Tuesday, April 29th. As SPFT Vice President, it was a great opportunity to visit with four classes of young men discussing the teaching career and the importance of union membership. Also thank you, Ms. Andrews, for sharing your class with me for a photo-op. You've got a great group of guys, as were all of the young men in the classes with whom I visited. Enjoy the photos!
Ms. Andrews and class.
Good job!

Professional Development Advocates - TALL Site staff development committees are essential to assure that teachers are part of the decision making process regarding professional development. By state statute, sites' committees must have a majority of teachers on the committee. If you are interested in becoming a Professional Development Advocate and being a leader for high quality professional development, consider TALL training. “Teachers as Learners & Leaders” is a professional development training program offered by Education Minnesota in order to help locals like Local 28 - SPFT build teams of advocates and activists. If you are interested in becoming a TALL Advocate or Activist let us know.

The growing number of mandates and non-educators enforcing them make teachersÍ unions more critical than ever, according to professor Diane Ravitch. Unions need to ensure that teachersÍ influence on curriculum and practices is not further eroded. http://www.educationworld.com/a_issues/chat/chat205.shtml "The American Labor Movement has consistently demonstrated its devotion to the public interest. It is, and has been, good for all Americans." President John F. Kennedy
