[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly effective teachers might make a significant difference for these students. Few would dispute that.

People, how do we attract them to where they are needed most? From a west of the park school to an environment that can burn you out fast?

I ask you, who wants to leave a spot where school resources are good, the PTA is strong, students do what's expected of them, parents are supportive, and your evaluations will remain favorable.

The Brown scenario requires accepting that the best teachers are west of the park because there are more teachers there rated highly effective according to IMPACT.  I doubt many if any teachers think this.

Are you suggesting that Brown's deal would pry teachers out of ward 3?  Has anyone asked teachers about this?

Has anyone checked with the "effective" teachers in  testing grades in wards 7 and 8 who would have been highly effective if their kids' scores were higher (like the kids in ward 3)?  What makes anyone think they are not as good as ward 3 teachers who have little or no experience with low SES kids, and none under IMPACT

I haven't heard Brown mention any of this.[/quote]
