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.
WHEREAS, the new evaluation system based on NYS Education Law 3012c disproportionately weights the use
of high stakes test scores over
qualitative assessments as «
Measures of Student Learning (MOSL)» in determining teacher
performance, leading to a proliferation
of Common Core - aligned tests with devastating consequences for teaching and learning conditions in our schools, and
[4] As the use
of value - added models now allow for the development
of a more meaningful understanding
of teacher effectiveness, districts should ensure that
performance pay systems consider both
qualitative and quantitative
measures in order to fairly assess and compensate teachers for their
performance.
