FEA, DoDDS Sign MOU on Gradespeed
From FEA President Michael Priser:Attached is a copy of the MOU on Gradespeed between DoDDS and FEA. I appreciate the work, input and support that FEA was given from all levels. Members gave feedback through management surveys, along with emails and contact with their local FEA representatives. FEA also received valuable advice from members at this summer's annual meeting in Washington, DC. I also wish to thank the FEA Board of Directors for their guidance and contributions during this process.
This MOU recognizes that grade books are professional tools used by educators for tracking students' progress. This agreement addresses the need for appropriate training prior to implementation in accordance with past practice. It also requires management to rectify situations in which data are loss. The MOU maintains Gradespeed as a positive home-school communication vehicle.
FEA and management will work together to continue to assess Gradespeed and gather information on its use. If you or your members have problems during this school year, FEA encourages teachers to work through the normal chain of command to resolve those problems. HQ's has assured FEA that they want to be notified and involved of any concerns or technical problems that need to be address at their level.
Again, FEA appreciates input and work from local leaders and members in this agreement.
