errors made could materially affect or compromise the integrity of the evaluation results . The Department shall provide guidance on which procedural errors may materially affect or compromise the results of the evaluation . That is the law . No matter what another group may tell you to the contrary .
And if we want to change the law , it will likely be the advocacy efforts of Professional Educators of Tennessee that will lead the way . We are known across the state for our collaboration to make positive change in public education . From the Teacher Bill of Rights , to Dyslexia Legislation to holding educators harmless on test scores to protecting educators harmed by the pre-K and kindergarten teacher evaluation system . We are shaping the next generation of our state ’ s education leaders . We promote a better future for our profession and our students . And we are the only organization in Tennessee offering a modern approach to teacher representation and educational advocacy , as well as promoting professionalism , collaboration and excellence without a partisan agenda . Our professional learning enhances educator competence , confidence and leadership skills , which leads to higher achievement for students .
Professional Educators of Tennessee are aware of what is happening in the state on education . We know what we are doing . We are not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what is going on around us . Our members have trust in us , because they know we do not have to use fear tactics or misleading terminology to pressure them into joining our organization . We do not file frivolous lawsuits . Our members know a onetime $ 50-dollar rebate of over $ 650 dues , is not remotely close to the savings they enjoy in our $ 189 annual dues , especially over your education career . We have twice the coverage , and many more benefits than our competitors . We simply are not selling doom and gloom . We are the organization of hope . Thank you for being a member .
