teaching is complex
EASTON, Pa.—School may be out for summer, but across Pennsylvania districts are gearing up for a new teacher evaluation system that takes student performance into account.
This fall begins a three-year roll out of the system, which was passed into law in 2012. Principals and specialists will be subject to the evaluations in 2014-15.
The new evaluation system replaces one that only labeled teachers as satisfactory or unsatisfactory based on classroom observation. Former state Education Secretary Ron Tomalis blasted that system, noting that in 2009-10 almost 100 percent of teachers and principals ranked satisfactory.
As a former teacher and schools superintendent, Pennsylvania Department of Education Deputy Secretary Carolyn Dumaresq said she knows educators, in most cases, weren't giving each other constructive evaluations.
"We want to make sure we are giving feedback to teachers to help them grow," she said. "We know the most important thing to increase student achievement in the classroom is the teacher."
The department has spent the past three years piloting the new system with 300 of the state's 500 school districts, Dumaresq said.
"It is complex because the artistry of teaching is complex," she said. "And it shouldn't just be one thing that we say, 'We are going to measure this and this and it counts for all things teachers do.'"
Starting this fall, districts will be expected to evaluate teachers using what is known as the Danielson method, which includes typical principal classroom observations as well as a detailed written rubric outlining skills.
"It is a lot more descriptive and takes some of the subjectivity out of it," Dumaresq said.
Bethlehem Area School District Assistant Superintendent for Education Jack Silva said his district is lucky because it already uses the Danielson method to evaluate teachers. Other districts that do not will have a lot of learning to do, he said.
"If the Danielson method is applied well, it is a powerful tool for teacher improvement," Silva said.
The state has been training administrators on the method through local intermediate units and it has provided free professional development materials that include videos of teachers exhibiting desired skills, Dumaresq said.
Preparing for the system has required a huge investment of time that is expected to increase, Silva said. Bethlehem hired recently retired district Principals Jacqueline Santanasto and Michele Fragnito to help implement the evaluations. They will be paid $400 a day on an as-needed basis for up to 60 days collectively.
"We are doing far more work on this unfunded mandate then we have ever done before," Silva said. "We are hopeful."

深く淺い足跡
何が共切り西窓ろうそくは、話巴山夜雨時、出逢ったあの夜、とっくに刻んであなたは私の生命の中で、そのちょい続いて絶えない暖かさも、とっくに私達の悔いのこの場で出会い、情の深い意味の短冊を切って味わいがあって、あなたを描くこの道に一番美しい風景、一曲読経の声、酔った誰の人生？中醫調理身體

あなたは団飄然雲、風の翻る消え去るの薄い夢、私は揺れ靑蔵高原の経筒を済度して、ただあなたの足音を。あの1世のない山を回転して水を、回る仏塔、来世を修理するため、今生とあなた守るためだけに。
あなたに書いたラブレター101、次の時間はあなたの番かどうかを書いてくれますか？あなたのラブレターきっととても美しくて、手を携えて、長年のように繰り返し重なる手相は、日夜めぞん成波の眼差しで。いつもあなたのこの一生つきまとう。殘念なことに、君は永遠に書いてくれて、実は、あなたの事ずっと私の心の中で、ただ私が言えない、雑踏の人波に夢中になって、私は、一目惚れのはあなたですか？一緒に見に約束して立ち上る煙、夕日を見に寄りかかって、馬鹿児娇女戯れ！美容專科
