[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's two sides to the coin - If there are kids who are a repeat behavior problem from class to class, regardless of teacher, it is that student who is the problem and addressing the student's bad behavior is where focus needs to be.

But at the same time, if teachers have inadequate classroom management skills, that's certainly also a huge problem - check for example YouTube for videos with teachers displaying completely ineffective or even completely inappropriate behavior - some teachers really really don't know how to manage students and classrooms effectively, and that's something that the school administration needs to diagnose and deal with effectively as well.[/quote]

And with their zillion dollar IMPACT evaluation system, DCPS has surely gotten rid of all the teachers with poor classroom mgt skills.[/quote]

What's your solution?  Poor classroom management continues, and there are still lousy teachers.  Rather than whining about IMPACT, or saying "get rid of IMPACT" the answer needs to be "what do we replace it with?"  So...  what is your answer?[/quote]

One of great ironies of IMPACT is that many very good teachers who do a heroic job every day are being branded as minimally effective while some truly mediocre teachers who do very little have been labelled highly effective and given bonuses.[/quote]

By what objective, quantifiable, independently verifiable measures were they so heroic or mediocre?[/quote]
