Most teachers, students, and parents agree that the city's new teacher
evaluation system is a misguided attempt to distract New Yorkers from
the real challenges faced by our schools and students. But what's a teacher to do?
Take Action - Share the video and sign the petition for a moratorium on the new evaluations system
"We,
the educators, parents and community members of New York City, call on
State Education Commissioner King, the new Mayor of New York City, and
the UFT leadership to implement a MORATORIUM ON THE NEW YORK CITY TEACHER EVALUATION SYSTEM.
This system disproportionately weights the use of high stakes test
scores over qualitative assessments to determine the quality of teacher
performance..."

In her piece "The Noose or the Sword: Choosing Your Evaluation," Julie
Cavanagh (Chapter Leader, PS15K) examines the pros and cons of the
three paths - compliance, uber compliance, or the middle way -
individual teachers and school-based committees must make in the coming
weeks.
