[quote=Anonymous]    Most parents and I suspect tadmins can agree who the outstanding teachers are and they deserve way more pay. We also need to find a way to provide better remediation for struggling teachers and if the remediation fails there needs to be a way to encourage them exit door left.

I have proposed on DCUM before a multimodal assessment from a variety of levels. You factor in subjective and objective and you get feedback from peers, subordinates (e.g. aides who come into the classroom where applicable), parents and the administrator. Test scores would be a small part of the assessment, maybe 5% of what goes into the equation. Anytime this discussion comes up a raise to all teachers when there are some teachers who clearly deserve to go up 5 steps and some who don't belong in the field. How do we retain the talented teachers and remediate and if needed let go the problematic ones?

To be clear, I am not looking to justify my suggestion for assessment. I have already learned a slew of people find it outrageous. I am looking from solutions from those who are in the system. I would gladly pay more taxes if we could keep and reward talented teachers and have more in place to ensure poor teachers get the help they need so it isn't the same story year after year.

What do you propose?[/quote]
