Comments on: The poster child for Education Reform’s fraudulent performance evaluation movement http://jonathanpelto.com/2012/10/15/the-poster-child-for-education-reforms-fraudulent-performance-evaluation-movement/ Working to educate, persuade and mobilize through "perceptive and acerbic" observations about Connecticut Government and Politics Fri, 24 May 2013 04:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: HappyMom http://jonathanpelto.com/2012/10/15/the-poster-child-for-education-reforms-fraudulent-performance-evaluation-movement/#comment-7277 HappyMom Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:07:00 +0000 http://imnctnetwork.com/waitwhat/?p=3112#comment-7277 Poverty, language barriers, special education – Having an
effective teacher means still being able to teach/reach students who are in
these situations. So evaluating teacher
performance is the simplest way to see if they are able to do that. If I had pancreatic cancer I would want a
specialist performing surgery or caring for me not a general practitioner. Agree?

If you were engaging and exciting they would come to school…when in doubt in any situation you blame the teacher.

This is shared sacrifice?

Some is codified. Nice that just because one is on the payroll for ten years,one gets a bonus twice a year. It makes no sense to me but neither did The Attack Husky pay raise. Or even her job description!
…”James Blake, an executive vice president at Southern Connecticut State University, who will take home an additional $6,768.99; Michael Pernal, an executive vice provost at Eastern Connecticut State University, will bring home $6,685.03; Walter Bernstein, the vice president of student affairs at Western Connecticut State University, will receive $6,122.65″

We need to trim the bloated administration and invest in more ELL instructors, special ed instructors, and individuals who make home visits to chronically truant families and figure out why kids aren’t going to school and take steps to resolve the issue.

Sounds like Teachscape is yet another corporate handout, another total waste of money. Now I know what all the STEM graduates are doing–creating endless computer-based products and assessment tools that must ever be upgraded.
