We can fairly assess outcomes in the classroom for purposes of merit pay, when we can assure that each teacher's students are equal coming in. Test scores, poverty levels, numbers of abused children, numbers of ransient children, etc., must all be equal at the outset before we can judge a teacher on the outcome.
As long as we are at the mercy of standardized multiple-choice tests, we will not accurately measure learning. Merit pay is inherently unfair if it is based on multiple-choice tests, which do not measure creativity and higher-order thinking (in most cases).
I believe teachers should address creativity and higher-order thinking skills, don't you? They cannot if their pay is based on a test.
First, raise teacher pay above the regional average to attract more qualified people (right now we're shooting for average pay and we're woefully behind ). Then, measure teaching with many different tools, and then perhaps merit pay will be fair. But the Republicans don't want to pay for that, do they?
First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I've had a hard
time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to
begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!
