[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately master educators do not always see the whole picture. Many really bad teachers can put on a good show for them. One such teacher in our school was finally excessed after years of failure in the classroom. Excessed only because of a reduction in staff that was budget-induced. Students suffered for years and the principal could do nothing about it. Personally if I were in charge, I would have requested that Nathan Saunders spend some time in this teacher's class to see the damage being done to students.[/quote] If the principal is giving the teacher the lowest ratings and the ME is giving highest ratings (an unlikely scenario), the teacher's scores would still add up to minimally effective. If her kids then don't show improvement on the DC-CAS (likely if she's so bad) then her score decreases to ineffective and she's out. Also the principal can rate her down on supporting the school mission - a very arbitrary rating, to bring the overall rating down. If the kids' scores don't go down, or she's not in a testing grade, one more year of minimally effective ratings and she's out. It's never been easler to get rid of a teacher. Don't kid yourself that the union or the bureaucracy is standing in the way. The union pretty much caved and the bureaucracy is doing everything it can to move teachers out[/quote]
