Teacher Evaluations Publicized
by Veteran Teacher
Jun 17, 2012
Just wondering what you think about teachers' evaluations being open to the public to view. As it stands now, only the kids' parents can view the results of the evalustions (efficient, inefficient, etc). It seems that if the general public can view teachers' salaries they should be able to see if the teachers are, in fact, earning those salaries....after all it's the taxpayers who pay these salaries. I know I'm opening up a can of worms but I just think it's only fair. Teachers and the unions shouldn't be trying to cover it up. I always receive good evaluatons but, even if I didn't, I think John Q.Public who pays my salary, should know how I'm performing.

Veteran Teacher As I said previously, I have no axe to grind or no dog in the fight so to speak....I just feel that it makes sense. If a teacher's salary is open for public view and scrutiny, then that same teacher's evaluations should be open to public view and scrutiny. That's all.

anon Absolutely not. The evaluations aren't even reliable anyway, given the fact most principals aren't the best people to be evaluating. Besides, there is no such thing as an objective evaluation in public ed.

Privacy I have yet to receive a bad eval and I would quit my job and go into a new field if they had to be public. I live in a small enough town as it is...I don't need rumors compounded about me from some principal who has no experience in my field but for whatever reason is "qualified" to evaluate me. No, I don't think so. I do not hold my principal's ev...See More
