[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at Lafayette, but am confused[b]. If the teachers are terrible they would have bad impact scores. [/b]Especially from the master educators. Then, they would be gone. Not much else a principal can do if their scores are decent.[/quote]

A few things about just using test scores to determine whether is teacher is terrible or not:

--If you are teaching students from upper middle class homes where parents are highly educated, kids will more likely pass the tests even if your teaching that year is less than stellar.

--Not every grade level has test scores. If you're a mediocre teacher in the primary grades, there is no DCCAS. If you look at reading benchmark levels, again, kids from higher income homes are likely to be reading on level regardless of what the teacher is doing. These kids are getting so much literacy support at home.

--Not every teacher works in a subject area that tests. For example, if are a crappy music teacher, then what scores would a principal look at? [/quote]
