 After about two years of wrangling, a group representing teachers, school administrators and school boards agreed Wednesday on a new way to evaluate teachers that places a strong emphasis on student achievement.

Members of the state Performance Evaluation Advisory Council said the breakthrough in their discussions on the contentious issue occurred in the past few months under the leadership of Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor.

Years of disagreement have stalled efforts to grade teachers and dismiss those who are ineffective. That all changed Wednesday when a group of educators -- including teachers' unions, superintendent and school board groups -- agreed on how to properly evaluate teachers so those who are struggling are identified and put on a path to improve or be dismissed.

 Connecticut's policies to improve the quality of teaching in its public schools are mediocre at best, and particularly fall short in efforts to keep the best teachers and remove those who are ineffective, according to a new nationwide assessment of states' regulations.

Gubernatorial Candidate Forum on Public Education

Posted September 1, 2010 at 4:16pm

 Dear EdHeads,

As you know, a big part of my campaign is about making sure you know where the candidates stand on education and education reform – ConnCAN’s candidate questionnaire and the candidates’ record of education statements go a long way to keeping the candidates honest about their views on education. But I’m excited to announce an opportunity to hear even more about their plans to fix Connecticut’s public education system.

On September 28, Connecticut gubernatorial candidates Dan Malloy (D) and Tom Marsh (I) will participate in a forum hosted by ConnCAN that focuses exclusively on public education in Connecticut. (Candidate Tom Foley (R) was also invited to participate, but has not responded to our request at the time of this posting).

The forum – which will be moderated by Robert Frahm of the Connecticut Mirror and Tom Monahan of NBC 30 – will take place at Macdonough Elementary School, a 2009 ConnCAN Success Story school that has made exceptional progress in closing the achievement gap in Middletown.

Interested in attending this historic event? ConnCAN will hold a lottery for a limited number of seats at the forum, which will take place on Tuesday, September 28 at 7 p.m. If you’d like to attend, please email me at votefored@conncan.org by September 19. You may enter for a chance to reserve up to two seats. Those selected will be notified by September 20.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear straight from the candidates about their views on education. As ConnCAN’s CEO Alex Johnston rightly points out, “Every other pressing issue we face in this campaign season, from the budget to jobs to security, is ultimately an issue about getting public education right."
Whoever you vote for, vote for Ed!
