[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Except that this is really hard to measure (so is not very effective) and also depends on where the students started from (so is not necessarily fair).[/quote] [/b]Actually, this is not hard to measure at all.[b] Students are tested at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. The teacher is evaluated on the increase or value add that participation in class yielded for the students over that year. This range is compared against other teachers in the same grade across the school and county. Teachers can gain extra points for more significant gains with target populations or students entering who fall behind the baseline. This is far more effective than a biased buddy system.
