[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone claim that impact is 1. Improving their teaching practice or 2. Helping students?

And yes, I agree it’ll stay. New/white teachers love it. They assume that they are getting the bonus of their unique brand of being amazing. Within 5 years they see it’s a terrible system. By then they have been replaced by new 20 somethings.

As for the posters who keep saying we need to be evaluated because of free loader teachers, ugh. The laziest teacher I’ve met works harder than than the average office worker. Most jobs do nothing. And… @ schools I’ve been it- the lazy ones go to church ect with the principal and get the bonus anyway. 😜[/quote]

I’m not white or new, but then again people here try and act like 7 years is new just because they’ve taught 20. Impact has only been around since what 2009?

Idk I kind of do think I’m my own unique brand of amazing when my admin, coach, colleagues, etc. tell me so. Of course I have room to grow, that’s the nature of teaching. I love the bonuses and Lift but I am not growing through IMPACT specifically.

Honestly though if we look at data before IMPACT it’s not like kids were doing any better, people always talk about the master educator days but kids in W5,7,&8 specifically still weren’t meeting goals. It makes me wonder is it really just impact that’s holding teachers back from being great? [/quote]
