Cathy Nolan supports teacher performance reviews
A new teacher and principal evaluation system recently passed by the Assembly would include annual performance reviews that will determine the effectiveness of educators.
“We have an obligation to New York State’s children to provide them with the best education possible,” said Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. “This overhaul of the way we evaluate educators will provide for a more objective, student-center rating system and help to ensure that under-performing schools, teachers and principals are given the assistance they need to improve.”
Student achievement will account for 40 percent of the evaluations. “Locally-developed measures,” such as classroom observations, would make up the other 60 percent.
