As state election campaigns start rolling, the WBLTA will continue to work with policy makers to support teachers and public education.

Pictured here are candidate Tim Walz and WBLTA president, Dr. Michael McKenzie.

Congratulations to all of this year's Teacher of the Year nominees.  Over 50 teachers were nominated by students, parents, and colleagues of these incredible teachers.

On January 29th, EDMN sponsored a legislative dinner with local union leaders and their district legislators.
About 10 legislators attended, representing the school districts of White Bear Lake, Stillwater, Roseville, Mounds View, and North Saint Paul.  The dinner was held at Jimmy's in Vadnais Heights.

We all have had, or will have, bad days, bad units, bad test results, and sometimes bad years.  Don't lose heart or hope in the power of being a teacher.  This inspirational story starts sad, but by the end, it shows us all the power of great teaching.

By now you've all been introduced to the new plan for teacher evaluations.

This change is required by State statute.  Keep in mind that our plan is a work in progress and we will revise it at the end of the year.  

The entire plan, with forms, is attached here.
