Rhee). The spokespeople were very clear on certain 'bugs' tied to awarding merit pay. For one thing, they really didn't know what to do about teachers of non-tested subjects. It looked as if they hoped upcoming teacher evaluation models would take care of all that.<br />But it turns out the 'new' evaluation models are no better than the school admins using them. Then, the Danielson crew showed up at my school exclaiming "your evaluation is just a snapshot in time", and guess what? The 'snapshots' are taken at the convenience of the admins! Not before school/afterschool or during lunch, and not when all those kids give up their recess so they can take the electives they are denied during the regular school day. Of course, none of the above has anything to do with the teachers' evaluations or merit pay. <br /><br />Haters...Mrs. King's music studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211235832988015448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-7755409589103972632013-01-28T20:19:25.286-08:002013-01-28T20:19:25.286-08:00Oh, Goofus and Gallant.
