Stemler on Evaluating Teachers’ Performance
Lauren RubensteinBasing teacher evaluations on student performance can undermine teachers' good work, writes Stemler
In an op-ed published in the Hartford Courant, Assistant Professor of Psychology Steve Stemler argues that student test scores are a poor basis for evaluating teachers. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s proposed education reform package would tie decisions about teacher tenure and pay to teacher evaluations, which are partially based on student test scores under a new evaluation system.
