Report cards for teachers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Maureen Downey now writes a weekly column about education and she started with a strong topic: why don’t schools give report cards on teachers.
Schools and principals have plenty of data showing how each teacher’s class performed on state tests, but that information is never shared with parents.
We always hear principals and teachers saying how important a child’s parents are to that student’s success in school. But we also know how much harder it is for children to succeed if they have a weak teacher.
What information should schools share about teachers? How do you go about learning if your child’s teacher is effective?
