Beyond job boards and networking: Technology helps women break through glass ceilings -... - 0 views

  • Despite technology companies striving to hire women software developers, only one out of every six developers are female, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  • Women can go to the site and begin designing their playbook with “To-Do” items, tracking weekly accomplishments, building a personal brand, searching for advisers and coaches, and taking advantage of career-boosting services. “Our goal is to knit all that together and essentially path you because it is overwhelming. Woman want the relevant information in their busy lives that [they] can action on,” Skeete Tatum noted. She also added that women need to build a “Board” of coaches, mentors and sponsors to guide them through career choices. She described coaches as high-power experts that provide insight and recognize patterns that move people forward; mentors as individuals who influence and help examine idead; and sponsors as the door openers and network builders.

Teachers Vow Fight Against Proposed Spending Cap On Schools | Vermont Public Radio - 0 views

  • Teachers Vow Fight Against Proposed Spending Cap On Schools
  • curb the growth of property taxes
  • “It is an assault on voters’ intelligence to suggest that they don’t know how to analyze their own school budgets and vote accordingly,” says Darren Allen, spokesman for the Vermont teachers union

  • Their new plan to impose spending caps on school budgets might help accomplish that goal
  • The cap means officials could not present to voters any budget plan that resulted in a more than 2 percent increase in per-pupil costs. And it’s this language that teachers object to the most. Allen says it’s a blunt policy instrument that will inflict serious harm on public schools.
  • If a vote for a community exceeds 2 percent per pupil in expenditures, it’s deemed to have failed,” Sharpe says
  • But the most contentious provision in the bill calls for a hard cap on per-pupil spending increases.
  • But even diehard proponents of education funding reform say the House Education Committee’s approach could do more harm than good.
  • “It’s unfortunate, taking away more authority from local school boards and local decision makers and local voters,” Scheuermann says.
  • The House Committee on Ways and Means will d
  • bate the proposed spending cap when lawmakers return to Montpelier next week. Sh
  • arpe says the version of the cap in the education committee’s bill is admittedly flawed, insofar as it fails to recognize various factors that might make a per-pupil spending increases of more than 2 percent necessary for some districts.

  • part of the routine of the way the place works,”
  • “Rewarding the behavior you want to see is much more effective than penalizing the behavior you don’t want to see,” says Mankins. You’ll need to know “which employees are adopting the technology and which kind of rewards means the most to them.”
