[quote=Anonymous]"Isn't the idea of master educators (called mentors in MoCo) to help teachers and make sure someone independent of your principal can give a second opinion? It seems implausible that their observations would determine your employment. It looks like it's in master educators' interest for you to do well for their own Impact eval."

It is a good idea to have someone independent of the principal and trained in the specific subject area making independent teacher observations. I don't know any teacher who doesn't welcome this. The problem occurs if the master educator is unprofessional, close-minded, subjective and has a chip-on-shoulder. It is not in their interest for teachers to perform well, for the scores of their teachers to improve over time. These scores as well as personal teacher feedback are not considered when it comes to their evaluations.

And yes, master educator scores can determine your employment if they lower your average from "effective" to "minimally effective."[/quote]
