Thank you................my job is sales. Hit the number or we will find someone else that will. Obviously there are outside factors that always need to be considered. If a pattern of poor performance is apparent, you are let go or put on a performance plan. Things don’t improve while on a performance plan, bye bye.
I think there is probably a reasonable way (even via standardized testing) that can gauge how effective a teacher is. There are kids who are naturals and test very well, there are kids who aren’t that test poorly. Then there is a whole bunch of average kids who test average, sort of like a bell curve.
I’m sure all of these PHD’s in our education system can figure out a way to measure how effective a teacher teaches to their students. If they can’t then we are in trouble.
Saying you can’t figure out a way to grade a teacher on performance is lame and asinine in my opinion. We can put someone into space but can’t rate how effective a teacher is? Come on boys…..
I remember just about every teacher I had, some were incredible, some sucked really, really bad. It was very easy to see
