As far as I can tell, here is the central theme to Race to the Top: improve education through teacher evaluations.
Here is how The Apple puts it:
The teacher is central to education, no argument there. The parent and student play a very important role as well. If we could add evaluations of students and of parents to the plan, we might have a more accurate picture.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
Here is how The Apple puts it:
The Obama administration is concentrating on teacher effectiveness, he said last week. No Child focused on whether a teacher was qualified to be in the classroom; Race to the Top looks at whether a teacher is effectively educating students.
The teacher is central to education, no argument there. The parent and student play a very important role as well. If we could add evaluations of students and of parents to the plan, we might have a more accurate picture.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
