Key Provisions Expected in Legislation
Save Great Teachers
When teacher layoffs are necessary, the best teachers will stay in the classroom. Layoffs should be based on performance, not on seniority.
Fair and Robust Evaluations
We should be able to distinguish among great, fair, and poor performance of teachers and principals. At least 50% of teachers' and principals' evaluations should be based on how much academic progress their students make.
Reward Effective Teachers
Teachers deserve professional-level salaries, and the more effective they are the more they should be paid.
