Ed Notes has learned that the letter Governor Cuomo supposedly wrote to Merryl Tisch and the State Board of Regents calling for a change from weighing teacher evaluations based on state tests from 20 to 40% was in fact written by Tisch herself with the assistance of Deputy State Ed Commissioner John King and former Tweed Chief Talent Officer Amy McIntosh (Google her name and come up with all sorts of goodies). There may be a vote on Monday.

Walcott Appointee David Weiner Meets With E4E's Evan Stone and Sydney Morris at Tweed
An Ed Notes Exclusive (Not a joke):Among David Weiner's first appointments in his new position as deputy chancellor for talent, labor and innovation, was a meeting on Thursday May 12 with the leaders of Education 4 Excellence Sydney Morris and Evan Stone. Clearly, his priority is to come up with an innovative way to use E4E to undermine teacher rights. Expect an escalation in E4E's activities with direct access to principals and behind the scenes pressure to allow E4E into school buildings to meet with teachers.
