[quote=Anonymous]You assume IMPACT has identified and removed bad teachers - because that's what you read in the papers?  because DCPS says so?

I hope some of the teachers it identified were worthy of dismissal but don't know that at all.  It's looking like some were dismissed based on low value-added scores  due to to bogus inflated scores from previous classes implicated in the cheating scandal

I do know that IMPACT has stifled teachers, forcing them to conform to IMPACTs nine elements in 30 minutes when it doesn't make sense for the lesson.

I know there are concerns and evidence regarding master educators being unfair and unqualified - and overworked to the point that they can neither provide good feedback or offer help.  There's also been a lot of turnover among MEs, so constant training is needed - another big expense.

I know there are good, even great teachers who refuse to play the game and leave DCPS or get fired.

I know that some principals feel IMPACT required duties prevent them from supporting and getting to know their teachers and to truly help them, instead of spending hours filling in a questionable rubric.

IMPACT is costly and has shown poor ROI - scores aren't improving and teachers feel they aren't able to teach as well - even ones who do well on IMPACT.[/quote]
