[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think it is hard to measure teachers. As PPs have noted, it's unfair to evaluate a teacher based on the performance of students that have a horrible home life. Not sure what the best measure is, though.[/quote] Easy, measure on improvement, not on meeting a standard. So if the goal is 80 points, and these kids start the school year scoring 40 points, then look at where they stand after the end of the school year -- maybe getting their scores up by 15% is reasonable.[/quote] That might lead some teachers to just do the bare minimum. I guess if you incentivise it so that if you only do bare minimum, you get paid the minimum teacher rate. But then again, you are tying teacher's pay to kid's performance. Back to square one.[/quote]
