14 Jul 14 - Fuller Working Lives: Announcing the new Business Champion for Ol...ILC- UK
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Ros Altmann on the need for businesses to embrace older workers. Some key points:
1) People are living longer, healthier lives but the traditional retirement age is outdated, leaving a skills gap as the population ages. Employers need to retain experienced older workers.
2) Combining more work with more savings offers a solution to funding longer retirements. Retirement should be seen as a process rather than an event.
3) Many workers want to work past retirement age to boost their income in retirement. Only 20% feel they are saving enough.
4) Dr. Altmann will work with businesses to promote retaining and hiring older workers,
Private and public schools were compared based on facilities, class size, teaching, budgets, and administrative support. Private schools generally have smaller class sizes which allows for more individual attention. Public school teachers are often not as well paid and have low retention rates due to low starting salaries and small annual increases. Public school budgets depend heavily on local property taxes, making them subject to fiscal and political pressures. Public school systems also tend to have larger, more bureaucratic administrations that can slow down decision making. In conclusion, both public and private schools have advantages and disadvantages, so parents must decide which option best suits their needs.
The document summarizes how cuts to career and technical education (CTE) funding in Arizona will negatively impact the state's economy and education system. It presents data showing that CTE programs improve high school graduation rates and academic performance while reducing dropout rates. Fewer students in CTE will result in a less robust workforce, higher social costs, and lower quality education. The 50% cut to CTE funding in 2010 and another cut this year will lead many CTE programs and teachers to be eliminated, reducing enrollment and access to these beneficial programs. Reversing these cuts is important for Arizona's fiscal health and education quality.
The document summarizes how cuts to career and technical education (CTE) funding in Arizona will negatively impact the state's economy and education system. It presents data showing that CTE programs improve high school graduation rates and academic performance while reducing dropout rates. Studies cited found students taking two or more CTE courses had their risk of dropping out reduced by 50-70% and absenteeism reduced. However, recent cuts of 50% to CTE funding will lead to fewer students in these programs and downstream effects like lower graduation rates, workforce skills, and economic outcomes. The document calls on readers to urge elected officials to reverse these cuts.
David John, Senior Senior Strategic Policy Adviser at AARP’s Public Policy In...ILC- UK
In July 2015, the Government began a consultation on changing how the UK incentivises private pension saving, and the Chancellor is expected to respond to this consultation in the Government’s annual Budget in March 2016.
The Future of Private Pension Saving, kindly supported by Age UK, brought together Parliamentarians, business, academics and industry experts to discuss how best the UK Government can incentivise private pension saving.
The debate was opened by initial remarks from Angela Rayner MP (Shadow Pensions Minister), Jackie Wells (Head of Policy and Research, Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association), Sarah Luheshi (Deputy Director, Pensions Policy Institute), and Yvonne Braun (Director, Long-Term Savings Policy, Association of British Insurers).
On Wednesday 27th January, David John, Senior Strategic Policy Adviser at AARP’s Public Policy Institute, and Deputy Director of the Retirement Security Project at the Brookings institute delivered a presentation on tax incentives for pension saving in the US context at an informal reception hosted by Age UK.
Discussions from this event contributed to a formal representation to the HM Treasury regarding Government policy on pensions tax relief and private pension saving.
The document summarizes a news organization called frontpage.com that aims to cover stories that larger news outlets miss. It notes that the number of reporters covering the state capitol has declined significantly in recent years. It then outlines frontpage.com's strategy of covering niche policy stories and funneling them to other sites and organizations. It acknowledges the challenges of having an untested revenue model and competing for advertising in a tough economy.

This presentation provides an overview of causes why library and information services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, but in fact also for companies and organisations. A focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them to come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for your organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of (library) information systems is required to deliver your services and resources at the place of need. A simple short-term solution like a QuickSearch Library Toolbar is explained, several other tools to “enrich” the user’s personal search environment, as well as the more long-term ongoing work at the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.

This document discusses three myths about Iowa's teacher pension plan: 1) that traditional plans take all the risk, 2) that they help retain teachers, and 3) that they offer better benefits than alternatives. It finds that Iowa teachers face "attrition risk" if they leave before vesting and receive little savings if they leave early or mid-career. Retention rates show half of teachers leave within 5 years. Most teachers would be better served by more portable plans like cash balance or defined contribution plans used by other state workers. The key lessons are that retirement plans should benefit all workers regardless of tenure and Iowa should consider more portable options.
Teacher Pension Plans: How They Work, and How They Affect Recruitment, Retent...Jeremy Knight
About 90 percent of public school teachers today are enrolled in defined benefit pension plans operated by their state. Most of these state-run plans were created decades ago, and they have not adjusted to serve the mobile teaching workforce in today’s modern society. While they do serve some long-serving veteran teachers well, the plans also leave many short- and medium-term teachers with less-than-adequate benefits.
In “Teacher Pension Plans: How They Work, and How They Affect Recruitment, Retention, and Equity,” we look at the history of these plans and how they interact with key education issues facing our schools today, including attracting and retaining high-quality teachers and providing equitable resources for disadvantaged students. While there are no easy or one-size-fits-all solutions, this deck concludes with examples of states that have re-designed their retirement systems to better meet the needs of teachers, taxpayers, and the general public.
Torrez, alex staffing and retention key to school district’s successWilliam Kritsonis
This document discusses challenges school districts face in recruiting and retaining teachers. It notes that districts need over 2 million new teachers in the next decade due to increasing student enrollment and retiring teachers. Districts are taking strategic approaches to recruitment like developing marketing plans and partnerships. They also offer incentives like signing bonuses, loan forgiveness, and higher salaries, especially in large districts. The document emphasizes the importance of retention efforts like induction programs, professional development, mentorships, and ensuring administrators provide teacher support, input, and a positive working environment to keep teachers in the profession.

This document discusses challenges school districts face in recruiting and retaining teachers. It notes that districts need over 2 million new teachers in the next decade due to increasing student enrollment and retiring teachers. Districts are taking new strategic approaches to recruitment like developing marketing plans and partnerships. They are also offering incentives like signing bonuses, loan forgiveness, and housing assistance. Retaining teachers is also key, so districts focus on induction programs, professional development, mentorship, and ensuring administrators provide support. The document outlines specific strategies districts can take to improve recruitment and retention of quality teachers.
This document summarizes the key points from an administrator academy focused on improving teacher evaluation and accountability. The academy covered goals of ensuring effective instruction, providing fair processes for removing unsatisfactory teachers, and using technology and short, frequent classroom observations to enhance evaluations. Participants also discussed collective bargaining laws, the impact of a potential teacher strike, and pension reform challenges in Illinois.
The document discusses a conversation on college value and affordability in Michigan. It provides facts on the percentage of high school graduates attending college, the average cost of tuition as a percentage of median income, and the number of students requiring remedial courses. Participants shared their views on the importance of a college degree for prosperity, whether the costs of college are worth it, and the top challenges to completing college. Improving affordability through ideas like expanding early college credits and restructuring financial aid was discussed.
The speaker discusses three "tug-of-wars" in higher education: [1] Funding versus Accountability, noting that increased accountability is needed to obtain more funding; [2] Tuition versus Financial Aid, which are interrelated; and [3] Institutional Independence versus Need for Systemic Governance. Regarding funding versus accountability, the speaker states accountability must be improved for universities to receive more funding from the state government. The speaker also recommends the New Florida Initiative to increase graduates and research with $2 billion in new state funding.
The document discusses the problem statement and research questions for a study about teacher retirement in Puerto Rico. Specifically:
- The Puerto Rican government is debating changing the retirement age/years of service requirements for teachers, from the current 30 years of maximum service to 32-33 years of service until age 60-65. This change surprised many teachers who did not start working at a younger age.
- The study aims to research several questions about the current and proposed retirement requirements/benefits for Puerto Rican teachers, the impact on instruction, and the perspectives of beneficiaries and the government regarding the disruptive changes.
Higher education, Human Behavior and the Social Environmentzkoldys10
This document discusses historical and current policies related to higher education in the United States. Historically, higher education was limited to elite families and there were few financial policies to support students. More recently, acts like the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 increased Pell Grant amounts and student loan subsidies. Current policies like the American Opportunity Tax Credit and income-driven repayment plans aim to increase affordability but high costs continue rising faster than inflation. While these policies help some middle-class families, high debt remains an issue and the policies do not address the root causes of rising prices. Revisions are proposed to focus more on community colleges and refinancing student loans at lower rates.

Stand for Children Indiana and Teach Plus Indiana released a new report that assesses the state of the teaching profession in Indiana and puts forth a series of recommendations to combat teacher shortage and help retain teachers in the Hoosier state.
This document discusses major problem areas in India's government school system and proposes solutions. The key issues identified are the lack of teachers, inadequate infrastructure, poor administration, and high dropout rates. Solutions proposed include making teacher internships mandatory, tapping non-resident Indian donations and corporate social responsibility funds for infrastructure, improving administration through performance-linked pay and autonomy, and adjusting school timings and curricula to reduce dropout rates. Additionally, the document suggests establishing a norm where private schools mentor public schools to share best practices.

Working Better With Age: Engaging Older WorkersStephen Moore
This document discusses trends in employment rates among different age groups and potential ways to support older workers remaining in the workforce. The percentage of people with paying jobs declines significantly from 75% among those aged 18-34 to 34% among those aged 55+. Most people over 55 who do not have paying jobs have not looked for work in over two years, with nearly half not needing or wanting to work due to reasons like retirement or health issues. However, 29% of people over 55 would accept an appealing job offer. The document recommends ways to grow the labor force such as providing flexible work arrangements, investing in skills training, improving employment services, reforming pension systems, and combating age-based discrimination.
Putting aside the detail of the findings for one moment, one of the very interesting aspects of this year’s survey is that, unlike in previous years, there is far less divergence of opinions between academy and maintained school respondents. This perhaps reflects the fact that we are now entering into the sixth year of the expanded academies programme and all schools are feeling the continued effects of the changing accountability measures, frailties of the examination system as well as financial restraint in the public sector.
Two clear themes struck me when looking at the survey findings. The Government’s education programme heavily relies on school leaders and it is clear more needs to be done to support current leaders as well as identifying and developing the leaders of the future.With continuation of the academy programme at pace and the emergence of more local school groups this will be a critical part of succession planning at both a local and national level.
This Government also needs to follow through on its manifesto commitments on schools funding. The Conservative manifesto made a commitment to provide‘proper funding’ to every school and to ‘make schools funding fairer’. However, Nicky Morgan has said the new funding formula will not be ready until September 2017 at the very earliest. Many will remember the last Education Secretary of State started consultation on fair funding in 2012 but progress soon stalled.
Whilst 2017 will feel too late for many, it is important to ensure that this time real progress will be delivered for our worst funded schools and their pupils. The Prime Minister’s announcement in July this year that the additional £390m previously confirmed for 2015-16 would be base-lined in budgets for future years was a welcome start. Any additional measures the Chancellor can facilitate in the comprehensive spending review to help narrow the gap pending the full implementation of fair funding will be very welcome.

This document summarizes challenges with North Carolina's teacher pay system and makes recommendations for strengthening compensation. Specifically, it finds that:
- Teacher pay has not kept pace with other female-dominated professions and offers few opportunities for advancement, undermining retention.
- Starting salaries are not competitive regionally, making recruitment difficult.
- Pay increases mainly based on experience and education reinforce inequities in student access to teachers.
- Differentiated pay is needed to fill hard-to-staff positions and schools.
Strategic investments in teacher pay that reward performance and support recruitment/retention can boost student achievement while maximizing funding.

Teacher pension plans are not meeting the needs of today’s workforce. This is a broader problem than just an education issue.
3. 3
Teacher quality issues have largely been ignored in pension discussions.
•
Media and legislators pay more attention to the huge financial numbers, ignoring the smaller effects on individual teachers.
•
States legislatures respond accordingly.
•
Recent changes have made pension plans worsefor teachers.
•
Despite some recent improvements, all but a handful of states lock teachers into unfair and insecure pension plans.
4. 4
This is a problem, because the teaching profession has changed and become more mobile.

Colorado should look for solutions to address both financial AND human capital problems.
•
Colorado must find ways to pay down its existing debt
–
Share the debt burden as widely as possible, not just for teachers or schools.
–
If possible, find a new revenue stream.
•
At the same time, Colorado should stop making the hole bigger
–
ALL teachers deserve a path to a secure retirement.
–
Social Security should be part of the solution.
