When it comes to getting the best teachers possible into the system, what are your priorities? Rank the approaches below from 1-5, with 1 being your highest priority.
Evaluating: testing students to see their improvement during the course of the year (e.g., if the 3rd graders were reading at a 1st grade level in September, where was the teacher able to get them by midyear and by end of year.) I think this is a better approach then testing for the national standards in terms of teacher evaluations.
Also, good teachers need autonomy in the classroom; they know best what they should be teaching and how facilitate it. (Principals should be reviewed too!)
