What is the difference between dismissal and nonrenewal? What will this mean for you as you enter the profession? Answer in your own words. - ANSWER-A dismissal is a request placed by the superintendent for a teacher to leave for various reasons that indicate the teacher is doing something explicitly wrong. A nonrenewal is when a principal does not want to continue employing a teacher so they request to not renew the contract that they have. In both situations at the teacher you can request for a hearing and essentially fight back. It is good to know that you have this option incase something unfair happens to you.
Considering what you know about the difference between dismissal and nonrenewal, and the information from the article/website, where do you stand on teacher tenure in public K-12 education? - ANSWER-I believe that tenure is a necessary component to have so that schools do not take advantage of teachers. The fear of a teacher taking advantage of tenure by underperforming is real. However, tenure does not mean that they cannot be fired so there are still real consequences for misconduct despite the process taking longer. In a healthy system, tenure should help motivate teachers to do better and be creative while providing a sense of confidence in job security.
