Staff Member Interviewed by The Huffington Post
I want to congratulate Mr. Larry Cooper for being interviewed by the Huffington Post last week. Mr. Cooper (who is a physical education teacher as well as one of the school district's athletic trainers) is an officer at the national level for an athletic trainers association. As such, Mr. Cooper is known all over the country as an expert in student-athlete medical care. The Huffington Post gathered a panel of experts from around the country to discuss the importance (and necessity) of doing more to protect the health of high school student-athletes. Mr. Cooper was chosen to be a part of this panel because of his national reputation and his work with Penn-Trafford's student athletes. The Huffington Post estimates that the interview will be seen by 2.5 million viewers. Great job Mr. Cooper!! Here is the link to the discussion.

Outstanding. Thank you Mr. Cooper for your care of our children.
ReplyDeleteIdeally these types of accomplishments would be rewarded through a pay-for-performance process.
There is a new state law that implements a performance evaluation system in 2013. A state standard process is available, or local district can suggest alternatives. Per the PT Star, Dr. Butler has an alternative and is off to Harrisburg to convince the DOE that his plan is better. What are the features of Dr. Butler's plan, differences with the state plan, and why is it better?
ReplyDeleteI heard there was some kind of committee selecting the PT process under the guidance of Dr. Butler. Hopefully parental input will be included.
ReplyDeleteAlong those lines, here is a web based teacher rating system link: http://www.ratemyteachers.com/penn-trafford-high-school/17071-s
