Now it's stupid accountability. Teachers play the game - putting on a dog and pony show when the evaluator shows up.
Surprise - the most effective teachers are at schools with the highest SES kids!
most teachers are rated effective or highly effective and still the scores are flat or declining.

True professionalism is not creating teacher-bots. But if that's what you want for your kid...I guess the future is here....

Doesn't matter. Her legacy will be IMPACT. Now we can actually pay good teachers well, and fire shitty teachers. That's worth whatever the cost we paid. Everything else was window dressing.
IMPACT evaluates how well teachers adhere to a formula and how successful they are at raising standardized test scores. As such, it is useful for identifying a specific kind of teacher, though not necessarily a good one. A robot with a good eraser would be evaluated quite well by IMPACT.

I guess we should have appreciated her more while we had her--who knew her words were so valuable?

She should have paid them to have them listen to her.

How much money do you think Michelle Rhee, former Washington D.C. schools superintendent who now runs an organization called StudentsFirst, charged a regional 11,000-student campus in the Kent State University public system to speak about school reform?
Please guess before posting the figure.
