CAP writes: ..."in middle school language arts the lowest-poverty schools accounted or 32 percent of highly effective teachers compared with only 12 percent in the highest-poverty schools." It doesn't take mush critical thinking to marvel at the circular reasoning. If the teachers were 'evaluated' based on the student's test scores...what else do you expect?<br /><br />Schools with a high percentage of students who live in poverty, unfortunately, experience a high correlation with low test scores. Low test scores >> low teacher evals. Low teacher evals >> NCEE will misrepresent the relationship.Ann Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644303974065183711noreply@blogger.com
