new evaluation system

by sarah

Jun 17, 2014

I am new to CCSD, I came to Las Vegas from Phladelphia, to get way from the new evaluation system they implemented in Piladelphia City Schools. I did some research and found out that starting next year, CCSD is moving in the same directions. No seniority, no steps, you receive a raise only if you receive a good evaluation, 50% of the evaluation is students test score Even now teachers are not guaranteed to receive the step for 2014-2015. They might freeze the steps again. The school I was teaching last year Robinson MS less than 40% pass the state test. If the principal doesn't give you an exceptional evaluation you are toast In my case, I am still on probation for the next two years, I'll be fired along with everyone who is new to the district. I wish I did my homework before applying to CCSD. I am so stupid, stupid, stupid....

New Evaluations not "legally defensible" "The committee was told that while a great deal of work has been done on the project, more work is needed to ensure that using student achievement data to evaluate educators is legally defensible."

Legally defensible!! How in the hell are they going to evaluate a teacher who teaches kids we are mentally retarded, can't read, can't write, drool all over themselves, wear bicycle helmets. That is point 1. Now again, how in the hell are going to evaluate PE teachers vice math teachers? LAWSUITS GALORE. CCSD has a hard time finding quality teachers, well, expect the trend to continue. How stupid can a legislature be, and it is controlled by DEMOCRATS and teacher are getting screwed again. I am looking for another job.
