Madness:
Timetable for new teacher evals short - Connecticut Post: "Under the system, pilot districts will essentially have the month of August to customize the system, train themselves and then others on how to carry it out.
Sandra Kase, chief administrative officer for Bridgeport Public Schools, said at least the process guarantees her cash-starved district additional money to train teachers, especially those deemed to be "developing" or "below standard."
"It is a lot of work all at one time," said Kase.
Bridgeport volunteered to pilot the teacher evaluation system even though it is also rewriting its curriculum this summer and is carrying out a multitude of changes designed to produce better student results.
The teacher evaluations will include four components, staring with an orientation during the first week of school, followed by a goal-setting conference between teacher and administrator, a mid-year check-in and an end-of-year summation.
Still unclear is what measure will be used to evaluate teachers who don't teach reading, math or science, the subjects on the state's standardized tests. That, officials say, is still being worked out."
