Teacher Evaluation Systems Not Fully Supported In Many States: Center For American Prog... - 0 views

  • Most state reform statues have established hasty timetables for the implementation of new teacher-evaluation systems — timetables all states are struggling to meet. HPAds.adSonar(1523709,2259768,300,250); adsonar_placementId=1523709;adsonar_pid=2259768;adsonar_ps=-1;adsonar_zw=300;adsonar_zh=250;adsonar_jv="ads.tw.adsonar.com";Still, arguably the biggest challenge posed by these mandated evaluation reforms is that the majority of teachers do not teach in tested subjects or grades, and as a result standardized student achievement data is not available to be used in their ratings.
  • Furthermore, states must concentrate on providing what districts cannot, and education agencies should adjust their implementation timelines to align with the needs and resources of their particular state. Lastly, states must think long term about how to provide administrators with the training, technical expertise and field experience needed to address the current human-capital challenges affiliated with teacher evaluation reform.

    Nice article about how to use badges with the Common Core. I'd love to see how we could do this at Central. If there was only more time in a day....

      Love the idea of badges.  Will be working over the next semester to figure out how I can use them in my English replacement classes as a way to both let students know what skills there are that need to be mastered and as a way to keep track of their achievements.
