NYCDOE Wants To Release Teacher Scores To Public
The United Federation of Teachers has filed a lawsuit to prevent the Department of Education from releasing internal report cards on more than 12,000 city teachers.
For three years, the DOE has confidentially assigned ratings to teachers, and today the city planned to release that information.
The release of this data would be explosive. These are the supposedly confidential reports that assign each teacher a performance grade and percentile ranking, supposedly based on how much students improve while in their classroom. Almost all elementary and middle school math and English teachers get these scores.
