Publishing teacher scores this summer

by Sad Day in Tennessee

Mar 6, 2012

Looks like the state of TN will publish teacher will publish teachers scores this summer. I could see that this would not be a problem but this observation system was not so screwed up and needing adjustments.

If teacher scores were published they need to somehow show what the student intellegence quotent assigned to that teacher during the year. Too many good teachers get a room full of baddies that pull down their teaching and or observation scores.

TEA will fight this, but I doubt they will win out. I think a teacher shortage will occur very soon in the state of Tennessee. I may be one of them.

Thank you politicans........for another educational mess!

scooby Conditions in Florida are just as bad, if not worse. After 3 years of bad classes, with low performing students, if a teacher has not been successful in getting those low performers to meet the unreasonable and unrealistic standard, they will be out of a job, and their certification will be revoked.

After 3 years of bad classes, with low performing students, if a teacher has not been successful in getting those low performers to meet the unreasonable and unrealistic standard, they will be out of a job, and their certification will be revoked. Spring 2012 marks the end of year ONE for all of us. There will be a shortage here, and it will be felt almost immediately. Those who can retire have already gone, or will be gone within the next few years. Those who are young enough to find and obtain a position in another career field will go, and many college students have already abandoned teaching as a career choice. I'm tired of being told that if a kid doesn't do well, it's ALL MY fault! Gee, if you look back in history, teachers were also made the scapegoats in the early days of Hitler's regime in Germany. Why? Because they knew the truth of what the Nazis were all about. Therefore, they were marginalized by the Nazis and made to look like the bad guys. We're being made the scapegoats for poor budget planning by state governments and for poor performing students, who either don't care about their futures or just are unable to perform on an average level on standardized tests or in the classroom. God help us all.

anon This is all about saving money on pensions. Who are these politicians and reformers kidding? They want teachers to have the same crappy benefits as private sector workers. Of course the administrators will still have cushy retirement packages. Police and fire, of course, will never have their pensions tampered with.

Revolving door teachers will be the new standard. It isn't about the kids.

Revocation of licenses for idiotic test scores and "bad reviews" conducted by idiots without a clue? Gee, that's considered an equally egregious offense to committing child molestation or abusing drugs. Once you get your license revoked, you will never, ever, ever teach again in any school, in any state, in the United States of America.
