LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: D.C.’s teacher evaluation system has worked. Council members shouldn’t jettison it. By Editor On Jul 4, 2019 Last updated Jul 4, 2019 41 Share WHEN THE D.C. Public Schools system instituted a comprehensive teacher evaluation system in 2009, it was guided by certain basic principles. Teachers should be judged based on their skill, their commitment and their success in getting students to learn. Those who performed well would be rewarded with higher pay and promotions, while those who were ineffective would be dismissed. Studies have shown that, by and large, the system has worked well: There are now more effective teachers in D.C. classrooms, teacher pay has increased, and student outcomes have improved. 41 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
