Although the use of test scores remains the most controversial piece of the evaluations, it remains to be seen how the main portion of the evaluations, which are based on intensive, time -
consuming qualitative measures of a teacher's performance, will affect schools and classrooms.
Oklahoma State Representative Scooter Park said that «HB2957 is a step in the right direction — driven by the support of Superintendents across the state, we can continue to remove the costly and time -
consuming portions of the TLE system such as unnecessary data collection requirements as well as open the door for local school districts to develop their own
qualitative evaluation system for their teachers according to their choice of a valid, reliable, research based and evidence - based
qualitative measure.»
