March 14, 2011Teachers shouldn't be judged by test scores aloneThere are those who think the best way to determine teacher effectiveness is by looking only at students' test scores. The simplicity of this approach can be seductive, but it is inherently flawed. This approach only makes sense if you assume all children come to school with the same abilities, have the same educational resources and opportunities and return home to the same support systems. As a kindergarten teacher for more than 30 years, I can confirm what you already know to be true: Every child is different.Posted by Jim Zellmer at March 14, 2011 1:30 AM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: Newsletter signup | Send us your ideas Comments
