Sheri Lederman, is a gifted and beloved fourth-grade teacher in Great
Neck, New York. Her principal adores her and relies on her to help
mentor her colleagues. Over twice as many of her students have met the
state standard than the average percentage for the rest of the state.
Sheri is also a scholar. She received the 2012 H. Alan Robinson
Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation award for her research on how
10-year-olds learn science. Yet her growth score based on the results of
student Common Core standardized tests found her to be an “ineffective” teacher... Carol Burris, http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2015/01/01/teacher-evaluation-going-from-bad-to-worse/
Tisch, Cuomo et al want to screw Sheri Lederman and many other teachers.
First a
sincere Happy New Years. Very quietly this week, and without input from
the rest of the Board of Regents, Tisch answered Cuomo's letter by
proposing an APPR plan that doubles the weight of test scores for
evaluation. Here is my blog on it, seen through the perspective of a
wonderful teacher who got an ineffective this year on that part of the
score that Tisch says should now make her Ineffective overall.
Read, and then please share. The implications for students, teachers, and principals if this comes to pass would be enormous.
