[quote=Anonymous]Yeah one school that used to brag about the number of highly effective teachers got a new principal who low balled all of the evaluations. A new rubric is being used and as annoying as M E s were they did offer some balance in scores. These principals don't even know  how to use the new rubric. Brand new principals shouldn't even be allowed to evaluate teachers without having someone experienced to mentor them and norm the scores with them. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a reminder that the many teachers who ARE finishing the year, who would like to have a dependable long-term career in DCPS, are still waiting for a new contract and retroactive pay. This becomes an issue of professionalism and respect.  Many valued colleagues are not returning to our school in the fall.[/quote]

LEAP and IMPACT are another big reason folks are leaving this year. It's a lose lose situation in most, but not all, schools! The money from Rhee's fund has dried up so now they can only afford "a few" people to be effective. Back in the day, you know when they had the cheating scandals and Rhee was in charge, they were splashing the cash![/quote][/quote]
