Olympia says do this in the public school system with evaluation and then they turn around and support charters that state they do not have to follow the rules. They are saying let's reform schools with new evaluation models and then say we need charters so that they do not have to follow these same models. What a bunch of garbage. <br /><br />Also, one point that you quoted in your post that you did not address is the individuals will be evaluated on an individual, humane basis by high quality principals who know them well. This really sets me off. In Tahoma, regardless of the what system is in place, I know that I will always be evaluated on an individual, humane basis by a high quality principal. The model that is in place should not have any affect on this. I can agree that it is sad that we evaluation will be a matrix of numbers but I also know that I will still be looked at for my uniqueness and ability to motivate and inspire. I am not sure what one teacher they found that has a bee in their bonnet but you can find one in any system. <br /><br />I too am upset that we cannot use our model to evaluate, it just seems like a wrong way to move forward. A district and association both want to use a model that will lead to success but the state forces into their selected models. <br /><br />Okay, I am being told to stop by my wife, who is my health monitor (watching the blood pressure).Scott Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287798576706351083noreply@blogger.com
