Pondering an article...
Education Week - Teacher Quality...
I have had years of experience in the making of standardized tests, and now work for a project that is attempting to gauge teacher effectiveness. Though we are employing multiple measures, the student achievement measure, in reality, will trump all others.
I wonder if I too have fallen into the mindset that the test is the "best" method for us to really know what represents a good teacher or not.
Does testing students really tell us what we need and want to know about teachers?
In my opinion, it's only a teeny part of the picture.
