That's four years.
Now all the details of the system haven't been posted yet because the geniuses at the NYSED are still pulling them out of their asses, but you have to wonder why it is NYC teachers get a system for four years when most districts have a system for two.
Bloomberg wanted the system in perpetuity, which he didn't get, but four years is a long time if you're working under an unworkable system.
As I said, the details are still pouring out, but a preliminary "assessment" says using the entire Danileson rubric for observations AND growth models for student portfolio work is a TON of work for principals and assistant principals.
Here's what someone noted on Twitter noted:
@nycdoenuts In a school with over 100 tchrs like mine, what principal can look through hundreds of portfolios to determine ratings?

When the NYSED finally posts the whole system up, I'll be back with more.
