1. "Newark teachers strike historic deal including bonuses for top educators
2. NEWARK The Newark Teachers Union has reached a historic deal with the state that will make the district the first in New Jersey to offer bonuses based on how teachers perform in the classroom, union officials said today.
3. ...a three-year contract today that includes annual bonuses that range from $2,000 to $12,500 for teachers rated "effective" or "highly effective" under a new evaluation system,...
4. Teachers unions have traditionally resisted merit pay or any system that would link compensation to student performance. Del Grosso said the key to the Newark deal was a provision in the contract that will allow teachers to serve on the committees evaluating colleagues performance in the classroom.
5. Each school will have a three-person evaluation committee that includes a school administrator, a principal and a teacher with equal power,...
6. "We will have a say in our own destiny," Del Grosso said. "Were militant in that we want to control our own profession."
7. ...the union and the district discussed merit pay or "performance enhancers" for months.
8. The Newark Teachers Union represents nearly 3,300 teachers, who oversee 37,000 students in the state-run district. The teachers have been working under the terms of a contract that expired more than two years ago while the two sides tried to reach a new deal.
9. Newarks merit pay program will be based on a four-tier rating system included in new teacher tenure rules Gov. Chris Christie signed into law over the summer. The new law includes annual evaluations for teachers that will rate them "highly effective," "effective," "partially effective" or "ineffective."
10. ...teachers rated "highly effective" or "effective" would get extra pay. Teachers who work in less desirable schools or subject areas would also be eligible for bonuses, union officials said."

This is the face of the future.....and, really, isn't this moving in the direction we'd hope for?
The principal should be fully aware of what's going on in each classroom. I'm more concerned about the "school administrator." Who is that?
how would you know?
Cause my sister in law works for the public school system.
as a food service worker?

So my performance over a year is going to be assessed by three people who haven't spent a year in my classroom. And one of them will be a colleague who will have to look me in the eye and explain why I didn't get the highest rating? And my principal who walked in a few times and doesn't know the dynamics of the room or the need of any particular set of students will decide, and an administrator who is even less involved with the day to day goings on. Wonderful. Is there a rubric to live up to? Can good teaching be quantified and measured in a way which is the same room to room, day to day, subject to subject?
I figure that the teacher will most likely give everyone an "effective" or "highly effective", the principal a "partially effective" or "effective" and the administrator is a crap shoot (depending on whether he is grounded in supervision or business.
I'm in a private school -- no unions, no tenure, no guarantees. You'd think that the measure of teacher effectiveness would be simpler here because the paper trail doesn't need to live up to the same standard of rigor (I can be fired on a day's notice with no cause). It isn't. It is just more political.
since i work in a less desireble area ( special ed) then i would be eligible for a bonus in this system.
But since the students are not capable of learning at a normal pace, I would have the bonus taken away or be fired.

The only ignorance showing here is yours......Not much you can do about that seeing as you wish to cling to your delusions.

Why?
Doesn't it seem logical that the learning of said students will be judged against the same students at an earlier time?

you can have a student with an IQ of 30 in the classroom that is still needing toiliting, a Down student with a reading level og 2nd grade on a good day and an autistic student that can read at 4th grade level but their behavior is off the charts.
How do you make a judgement on that?
Also, their yearly progress may be unnoticeable or just something like learning to take turns and not grab

Wow PC. Now if we could just get public OFFICIALS elected based on performance,
we might actually have something going there!

All of what you said is complete bullshit none of those keeps a student from learning with a competent teacher. It is amazing how many ways you progressives avoid responsibility.
Yet you blame student for your failures???? Not much of a specialist are you?Yes, she forces their parents to divorce, forces kids to join gangs, sell drugs, live on cellphones, text all night, play video games continually, disrespect authority, not attend church, bully others, try alcohol and drugs at early ages, steal, cheat, and lie....
