When Disinformation is Fueled by Misinformation! CHANCELLOR TISCH, YOU ARE WRONG!
Very recently, I posted a critique of the recent technical report on New York State median growth percentiles to be used in that state’s teacher and principal evaluation system.
Today, I read this piece in the NY Post – an editorial by NY State Board of Regents Chancellor Meryl Tisch, and well, MY HEAD ALMOST EXPLODED!
The point of the editorial is to encourage NY City’s teachers and DOE to agree to a teacher evaluation system based on supposedly objective measures – where “objective measures” seems largely to be code language for estimates of teacher effectiveness derived from student assessment data.
First, I have written several previous posts on the usefulness of NYC’s value-added model for determining teacher effectiveness.
