Need advice on creating better teacher evaluations

Edited on Fri Mar-26-10 10:46 PM by HelenWheels
I'm looking for a better tool for teacher evaluations and want teacher in-put. It was a nice surprise to see Randi Weingarten on Bill Maher's show tonight talking about the same thing I've been talking about for a few months.
If you want more info PM me.

Thanks

Edit: I should add I HATE merit pay as teaching is not about turning out widgets that can be measured.

I am really serious about this ask, I'm running for school board and our district as so many great teachers but we will need to cut back as our enrollment numbers are declining and I'd rather get rid of the dead wood than layoff good teachers just because they happened to be hired last. Admin. moves problem teachers rather then fire them because it takes, in their eyes, too much work to fire them and then they can blame it on the all powerful union. So it's a win - win for them.
