Isn’t it time for Albany to come up with a better approach to education reform than personal embarrassment and individual blame?
Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to tell legislators to stop the public shaming of teachers and to protect our right to privacy! And share this message with your friends and colleagues!

Recent reports in tabloid newspapers included teachers’ names and personal information. This set off a flurry of unfair personal attacks and blatant misinformation about teachers.
Take the case of one 6th grade teacher in New York City. When Teacher Data Reports were published in February, she found herself hounded by New York Post reporters. They rang her doorbell throughout the weekend. They pounded on her window. They proclaimed her the “city’s worst teacher.” And all this despite accounts from her colleagues and peers that she is an excellent teacher in an excellent school.
Unless Albany does something about it soon, we can expect more of the same.
Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to tell legislators to stop the public shaming of teachers and to protect our right to privacy! And share this message with your friends and colleagues!
In addition to sending a fax, you can make a personal phone call to the Governor and your legislators’ offices by calling 1-877-255-9417.
It is time for lawmakers to support legislation to protect the privacy rights of teachers with respect to their personnel records.
Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to tell legislators to stop the public shaming of teachers and to protect our right to privacy! And share this message with your friends and colleagues!
In solidarity,
