One of the major victories of the Seattle Education Association was that it
reached agreement with the district to eliminate VAM. Henceforth, teachers
will not be judged by the test scores of their students. Ding, dong, the
fake metric of teacher evaluation is dead! At least in Seattle.
Here is a report on the settlement in the unfriendly, anti-teacher Seattle
Times:
Highlights of tentative 3-year contract [SEE http://linkis.com/www.seattletimes.com/SCSsb ]
. Raises: 3 percent in first year; 2 percent in second; 4.5 percent in
third (state cost-of-living raise is additional). More in 2017-18 for some
teachers for collaboration, and eight hours of "tech pay" for all school
employees.
. Discipline: Half day of training on reducing disproportionate discipline
for all school employees. Equity committees launched in 30 schools??
Testing: New joint union-district committee to review and recommend testing
and testing schedule.
. Teacher evaluations: Test scores will no longer play any role.
School day: Will be longer, but not much for students, and teachers will be
paid for the additional time.
. Specialist caseloads: Sets limits, which union says is a first, for
physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and audiologists.
Test scores no longer will play any role in teacher evaluations, and
teachers will have more of a say in how often students are tested. | A***u
