>Chris Christie eyeing ending teacher tenure
Thanks to tenure, many believe that teachers’ jobs are basically guaranteed, no matter how students do.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wants to change that: He is seeking to end tenure and on Wednesday said he would support switching to a system that gives individual teachers five-year contracts, which districts could renew based on merit. He said he believes that if the worst 5% of teachers were churned, there would be a “quantum effect” on performance. (Fleisher, The Wall Street Journal)
