Here is some recent data on the percentage of "so-called" highly effective educators according to group. Note that only 4% of Group 1 teachers were rated highly effective last year. What does this tell you about the validity of this evaluation instrument?

Group % Highly Effective Teachers in Group

2 16
3 11
3a 41
4 18
5 64
6 0

very interesting. how did you find this out?

Any idea how many group 3 itinerant ELL teachers there are?

Seems like it would be a small group compared to group 1 teachers, meaning the ratio of Highly effective in group 3 would be quite high.

Not!

Clearly the staffers hiring group 1 teachers are doing a terrible job of picking winners. especially compared to whomever is hiring those ELL teachers.

Clearly the group one hirers need to be fired themselves, and replaced by those wonderful people hiring ELL teachers. Then group 1 will blossom.

Not!

I asked a staff member at our school who was soliciting feedback from teachers about IMPACT on behalf of DCPS.

I'm surprised that Bill and Valerie at the Post haven't asked for/or commented on this data, which confirms what I've felt about IMPACT all along, that it is particularly unfair to Group 1 teachers.

This should have been included in the NY Times article about DCPS bonuses.

That would require asking questions rather than simply reading a press release
