Teacher Evaluations vs. Students Performance

Teacher Evaluations vs. Students Performance is in need of deeper examination when up to 95% of teachers in high poverty schools receive exemplary performance evaluations from their administrators, yet 90% of the students they serve can't meet basic performance standards when they graduate!

If we operated hospitals with these performance outcomes they would last a few weeks before the malpractice lawsuits shut them down. Your thoughts?

And my students love the rigorous learning environment. Thanks freducate for the post. My Blog is almost two months old and I am trying to get the word out about Reading Boot Camp.
