It is caled a 3020A and if you avoid PIP+, you still have a fighting chance. Also the 13% who will be before an independent panel after year one might not do very well because the Board will just say they rated them badly because of their test scores and their Danielson scores and harassment had nothing to do with it. Burden is on us in those hearings.

I don't think the number will be 3500 who will be terminated only because there aren't that many arbitrators or hearing dates to get rid of that many people.

I think the implications of that term say it all, don't you? <br /><br />2. As their ineffective grade is being 'validated', 13% of teachers will be going through the process of a guaranteed independent appeal. Those 13% would have lost the usual 'chancellor's' appeal and the UFT would be going through that new appeal process (you and I totally disagree on this. Currently, 100% of teachers can't get a fair appeal if rated poorly. The UFT did win us the new protection of an independent appeal after the usual appeal (well, they won 13% of the 6% rated ineffective that protection, anyway). Now, did they need to change the whole eval system to do that? Couldn't that just have been negotiated in the next contract (set to take effect in the year 2035)? Sure. But it is, to the extent of people who are covered by it, a new protection).NYCDOEnutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692665524124012171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-20392627019460706852013-06-17T19:41:38.199-04:002013-06-17T19:41:38.199-04:00Question: What purpose is there for a "Valuat...Question: What purpose is there for a "Valuator" if the teacher is rated ineffective due to the VAM/test scores? In other words, a teacher may create and implement great lessons and have outstanding observations done by a principal, but if the test scores are not up to par a teacher will be deemed ineffective. I do not see what a "Valuator" can do to help a teacher who was rated ineffective not by teaching skills, but by the VAM/testing scores. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
