[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in the district as a teacher and coach at Title 1 Schools. At a low performing school I was developing. Transferred to a Title 1 school doing the same thing and then was highly effective. This year I’m an Imstructional Coach AND Testing Coordinator who have two LEAP caseloads for walkthroughs, debriefs, etc and I MIGHT be effective. Twenty-five percent of my score is based on student achievement even though I’m not in front of the kids and half my caseload complains and refuses to do the work necessary to move student achievement. For example, I had a teacher flat out not write a lesson plan the entire year. The principal gave the previous coach highly edfectives each year and had 3/4 less tasks. IMPACT is all subjective to if the principal likes you for the most part. I also think there’s a cap on how many teachers in the low performing schools can get the bonus. I fully believe they are told how many to hand out. I’ve seen where a principal purposely “gave” a teacher a low score just so at the end it would average out to around 349ish just below the cutoff.

This burns me about coaches. You want a pass because the teachers you are leading don’t want to learn? Can we (teachers) get a pass for the kids who a chronically absent, too hungry to learn?, or busy flipping over desks? Nope. So neither do you. [/quote]
