EdNews/PBS panel on educator effectiveness

Rocky Mountain PBS and Education News Colorado hosted a lively panel discussion Friday on the state’s new educator effectiveness law, which will dramatically change how Colorado teachers and principals are assessed.
State officials are still working on implementation of the new legislation, officially known as the Great Teachers and Leaders Law. By 2014, at least 50 percent of educator evaluations will be based on students’ academic growth.
Panel members included:
- Michelle Mann, principal of Freed Middle School in Pueblo
- Henry Roman, president of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association
