N.J. schools step up teacher evaluations
Now that it really counts, school districts across New Jersey have to figure out how they are going to evaluate their teachers — and fast.
It’s a complicated question. And under a state law signed last month to make tenure harder to get and easier to lose for educators, districts need to find answers by the 2013-14 school year. The most vexing issue is expected to be determining exactly how standardized test results should fit into the picture.
District officials and teachers unions alike wonder whether that gives most schools enough time to make such big changes. (Associated Press)
