Report Card Time For Teachers

It looks like teachers’ performance may soon be graded based on the success of their students and the demonstrated results of their teaching ability, as part of a series of updates to the No Child Left Behind law. This is a much needed change that raises the bar on teaching standards and puts the onus on the teachers to do their jobs right.

Of course, there is opposition to this proposed change, but it seems likely that some form of annual evaluation of teachers performance directly tied to the progress of their students, is in order to ensure that top quality education is provided to children.

An updated No Child Left Behind law should track the progress of teachers as well as students, a special commission said Tuesday. Teachers should be evaluated annually based on progress in the test scores of their students, the panel said. Reviews by colleagues or school principals also would be part of the equation for determining teacher quality. Schools currently must meet yearly progress goals under No Child Left Behind. If schools miss those marks, they can be labeled as needing improvement and may face consequences. (cnn)
