Started to read model evals. Admins are going to retire in droves…I mean as soon as this nightmare kicks in. There is no way this can be sustained. Each is 100+ pages of made up crap. Principals are in it deep, too. They will have to help teachers if THEY want to keep their own jobs. Their jobs will be tied to kids and teachers….haha.
Vote NO!
It’s not funny! These teacher evaluation rubrics are going to do a tremendous amount of harm to public education. There is going to be catastrophic turnover, especially in the urban districts.
