Have you heard about Senate Bill 6? It is absolutely frightening what some legislators are trying to do to public education! Here are links to a couple news articles about it. We need all educators to be aware of what is happening! http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2010-03-04/story/momentum_builds_to_pay_florida_teachers_on_merit http://www.tampabay.com/news/educat...g-teacher-tenure-protections/1076996#comments
I so wish this conversation would shift away from blaming teachers to looking at teaching....I think all legislators should read The Teaching Gap before they jump on the merit bandwagon. It isn't going to improve scores. It is just going to shift the conversation for awhile.
