Teacher's Tenure

Tenure is when an employee is given a permanent position. Tenure for teachers has been around for many years and New Jersey is trying to make it better. In a recent article from NJ.com , the teacher tenure bill passed legislature and is expected to become statewide by the fall of 2014. In order for a teacher to be tenured they have to be evaluated and the students have to take a test on what they were taught. This helps decide whether or not the teacher is teaching the students sufficiently. Students tend to give certain titles to teachers such as "The Mean Teacher" or "The Boring Teacher" but now with this new bill there will be no need for name calling anymore. Instead those teachers will not be guaranteed a job while other teachers who pass the test will receive tenure and will have a secure job teaching for the rest of their life. 

I feel that this is a good way to make sure a teacher is doing their job and helping the students as best as they possibly can. At sometime in everyone's life they have had teacher who was a "Do it yourself Teacher" meaning that you learned nothing in the class but had to teach yourself so you could pass the class. By having this new bill it will reduce the stress that is put on the students to succeed in the class because now they will learn right way. Newer teachers will now have something to work for and once they achieve this next goal in their life they will forever have a promising job.
