How and who and by what criteria. Let's always remember to include parents and even kids in our evaluations. If it were an honest process and not "gotcha" it wouldn't hurt to get those viewpoints.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-74266857508081782082010-05-01T14:48:25.698-04:002010-05-01T14:48:25.698-04:00*blush* Awww, shucks.
For what it's worth, I ...*blush* Awww, shucks.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I agree with them, to an extent, that the teacher evaluation system could use some revamping--both how evaluations are done and who's doing them. What I don't like is how they portray themselves as "little guys" fighting against a big bad union, that they are stating the obvious, and that all of their colleagues agree with them 100% and everything would be better if we could just get rid of some of the pesky work rules for which our union fought.<br /><br />They're not little guys. They are not "grassroots." I sincerely doubt that. I'd have more respective for them if they would admit that *someone* is backing them. <br /><br />It's hard to be a young teacher and see some things that definitely could use some changing, but also have a lot of respect for the work that happened before I came on the scene. One thing I can say for sure is that Evan and Sydney do not speak for all younger teachers, particularly those of us who would like to be senior teachers someday, not head out to law school in the next year or two with our bridges burning behind us.Miss Eyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07392984911266075979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-37871259034490689732010-05-01T06:17:27.778-04:002010-05-01T06:17:27.778-04:00Why, Norm, you'd pay for an expensive media ve...Why, Norm, you'd pay for an expensive media vehicle if you were some Trojan Horse/Fifth Columnist scabs carrying water for TFA's Board of Directors and other privatizers.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.com
