Gates Foundation end’s flawed experiment on Teacher Evaluation

classroomEducators and parents have been telling the Gate Foundation and legislators this before, during and after the Gate Foundation spent $575 Million on a flawed “experiment” on Teacher Evaluation that the gate foundation now says that “the data” shows that teacher-effectiveness program shows no gains for student learning.  Edu Weekly states, “By the end of the 2014-15 school year, the study found, student outcomes were not significantly better than outcomes in similar school sites that did not participate in the initiative.”

Sadly, education and teacher’s have been wrongfully demonized teachers by this approach.  It has left states like Florida with a damaging teacher shortage which will take decades to improve.
