By Padres & Jovenes Unidos Boletin Update: Action Alert April 12, 2010Today, Senator Michael Johnston introduced his "Ensuring Quality Instruction through Educator Effectiveness" bill, or EQuITEE (SB 10-191). This bill would:
Create an evaluation system for principals and teachers based largely on student academic growth;
Identify the most effective educators, paying them more and helping them share their work across the state;
Ensure teachers earn tenure or due process rights “based on real demonstrated performance;” and
Implement "hiring by mutual consent" so that principals hire the teachers they want and teachers can work at the schools they choose.
Take Action Now to Help Us Pass EQuiTEE! Sign Our Petition!
