Reformy Logic

The NJ Education Department is running a pilot program for teacher evaluation. According to the FAQ's here, all teachers need to be evaluated by April 30.

45% of a teacher's evaluation will be based on a statewide asessment: presumably, the NJASK.

When is the NJASK administered this year? For grades 7 & 8, April 23. For Grade 3-6, April 30 and earlier later.

Uh... how are you going to evaluate a teacher, using a statewide assessment, when it won't even be given by the deadline?


I ask this seriously - do any of these people have any idea of what they are doing?

    Keyboard-fart: you mean April 30 and later, not earlier.

    Those scores don't even come back until almost the end of summer and what about EVERYONE NOT in those grades?
