LinkLinksOpinion Mark Simon in The Post: Rethinking education reform in D.C. By Editor On Feb 20, 2019 Last updated Feb 20, 2019 44 Share The experiment of tying teachers’ evaluations and pay to student test scores is over. It captured the imagination of decision-makers in D.C., Denver and nationwide a decade ago. As Post columnist David Von Drehle pointed out, the demand to end the experiment motivated a citywide strike in Denver. An “innovation” when it began in 2006 has become what Von Drehle called “an anachronism.” School districts such as Denver and D.C. that jumped in big — Denver’s Pro Com and the District’s Impact teacher evaluation system — are seeing a backlash. The public and teachers have soured on test scores as bad measures of quality. Charter SchoolsDC Public SchoolsEducationLewis Ferebee 44 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
