They will probably signal which teachers are due to be labeled as weaker than the others.<br />There will probably be a weeding of certain teachers vs. other teachers.<br /><br />So, yes, watch this year. These scores probably will be used against teachers.

They are going to be used as the baseline for next year's scores (2013-2014.) Since Tisch and King say next year's scores are going to go up (and remember, they were the ones who magically made them go down), that should be good news for 3-8 teachers. But here's the rub of it - how will they calculate growth? From what I looked at today (and I will be reading it more carefully tomorrow), they're not going to give us the calculation formulas until after school starts. Could be as late as November - that's like the anon above wrote, they want us to "trust" them...reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-33282826766144609172013-08-24T22:52:08.745-04:002013-08-24T22:52:08.745-04:00R.B.E....so data THIS year can't result in the...R.B.E....so data THIS year can't result in the automatic "I" ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-63552784289537249322013-08-24T21:52:22.693-04:002013-08-24T21:52:22.693-04:00Remain calm and trust the NYSED!
