I've benefited from having exceptional administrators in the past, but I could see how this new law could play a subjective role in deciding teacher effectiveness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957896812820341397.post-35994225724511099642011-07-21T11:33:23.248-07:002011-07-21T11:33:23.248-07:00Dan,

Unfortunately, this new law can be exploited for issues unrelated to teacher effectiveness. It is this fear that will cause teachers to be less willing to move forward - innovate - educationally.delta_dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024582157985654525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957896812820341397.post-4787215351356917132011-07-21T08:24:48.567-07:002011-07-21T08:24:48.567-07:00Well said.

They had high expectations for me and my colleagues but always made success possible. If I wan't doing something right they had ways to help me improve. I believe those leaders will follow the spirit of this law and their districts will benefit from it. However, my gut feeling is that this law (and the others that have been passed recently) are merely union busting in the name of ed reform. And those who want to simply cut costs will be able to hide behind the letter of the law.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874459308361638203noreply@blogger.com
