Kindergarten through college, supposedly. But why do we not have any references to grades she taught, for how many years, in which sort of school system (urban, suburban, public, private?).<br /><br />I've gone into several of the Danielson issues at <a href="http://nyceye.blogspot.com/2013/06/huff-post-piece-delves-into-charlotte.html" rel="nofollow">Huff Post on Danielson's secretiveness, profiteering, alleged expertise</a>, when commenting on Alan Singer's piece at the Huffington Post.<br /><br />-<a href="http://nyceye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">New York City Eye</a>GeoKarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463970361326939857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-60923356290880679022013-06-08T18:06:08.821-04:002013-06-08T18:06:08.821-04:00we are so screwed - that last comment was 100 perc...we are so screwed - that last comment was 100 percent correct. hope the people that voted for Mulgrew and his acceptance of this utter crap are axed first - Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-79106518148796183802013-06-08T08:40:40.679-04:002013-06-08T08:40:40.679-04:00Stop crying on the blogs and organize.

My school is unscreened and all students are pushed into upper tier regents sciences without qualification. 50% of them are out of the game day one. I know I can't be the only one in this position. Did you know that schools can distribute regents scores equally among teachers to count as 20% (effective 50%) just for walking in the door at Stuyvesant, Tech, Midwood. In other words they are immune from all of this. <br /><br />I don't claim that I am discriminated against because I choose to work with disadvantaged kids, but I do work with that population, I like it and I'm pretty good at it. Anyone who teaches in these places career is over. (In two years).<br /><br />We are all so up the creek you have no idea how stacked the system is against teaching at small outer borough schools.

Remember that this is building towards a 2 year termination. <br /><br />Just in case some survive in the second year, don't put it past them that they'll need a bigger net than the 7 percent sacrificial lamb quota that Mulgrew agreed to.<br /><br />And factor in that a lot of people are going to quit under the strain of the frequent harassment. So I see about 15% getting U's. They'll have no trouble finding targets, since with test-based eval score reaching 40%, thousands will be available. The media will swoon over how "finally" the bad teachers are getting axed.GeoKarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463970361326939857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-67329971376030665942013-06-05T16:47:19.976-04:002013-06-05T16:47:19.976-04:00I can't under4stand how our union can claim th...I can't under4stand how our union can claim this disaster was a victory. Maybe they believe the administration will not be able to handle the increased paperwork on the Dainelson framework. However, I agree with chaz that they will cherry pick the most difficult to meet and terminate teachers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-22424592345228691012013-06-04T22:44:32.301-04:002013-06-04T22:44:32.301-04:00Impeach MulgrewImpeach MulgrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-46618358776262636312013-06-04T22:24:50.094-04:002013-06-04T22:24:50.094-04:00Everything you say about this is dead right,Chaz.

I have so much to say and no AED available for what would be the inevitable heart attack/stroke that I can't get started.<br /><br />The only positive thing about any of this, is that there will be so much paperwork for the administrators that they will spend so much time doing paperwork that they might not have time for all of the observations they will have to do.TeachmyclassMrMayor(andyoutooMrMulgrew)noreply@blogger.com
