Group making new teacher report cards extends hand to union | GothamSchools

Group making new teacher report cards extends hand to union GothamSchools: "Next year, the teacher data reports that sparked a battle between the city and the teachers’ union could find a much warmer reception.
The new firm hired to produce the Teacher Data Initiative is reaching out to the teachers’ unions that bitterly opposed the program, and the firm’s researchers say they are committed to producing tools to help teachers learn, not to rank them."
