Casey Seiler is reporting at Capitol Confidential the full state Board of Regents had second thoughts about the proposed reform to the Common Core implementation as announced by the Regents' P-12 and Higher Education committees, Mon., Feb. 10. That plan provided a mechanism that would allow teachers whose evaluations are imperiled by low student test scores to claim the deficient scores were due to improper professional development and materials. That initial proposal was tabled until the Regents’ April meetings. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo called it yet another delaying action for teacher evaluations and a sign the Regents’ capacity and performance needs to be examined. Cuomo said in an interview with Capitol Pressroom's Susan Arbetter, Tues., Feb. 11, a teacher evaluation system has been in the works since 2009 when it was included in the state's bid to receive federal Race to the Top money. He said, “Every year there is another excuse and another problem....Enough is enough. Government is supposed to perform. Effort is nice. Trying is nice. Results are better and we haven’t had results.” Read the full story at Capitol Confidential, a Times Union blog.
