somethingamiss?
Remember the city bragged how only 58% of new tchrs got tenure using the data they now say is junk
Vote NO!
he WSJ article on evaluations:
“Wealthier districts that aren’t as reliant on state aid could
question whether to give up on an agreement, said Jay Breakstone, the
past president of the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association.
“You’d have to seriously question whether or not it’s even worth the effort,” he said.”
It’s not worth it for any district. Seven hundred million dollars in “Rttp” money distributed over 4 years, will NOT be enough to cover the costs of implementing this disaster of an evaluation rubric. I can’t think of any law in recent memory which is going to cause as much chaos, and upheaval as this teacher evaluation law.
