Chris Christie wants to punch the teachers union in the face. But he isn’t the only candidate attacking educators. August 3, 2015. August 3, 2015. From The Washington Post’s. Leave it to Chris Christie to come up with a new way to court voters in his sagging quest to win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination: directly suggest violence against teachers, or, to be specific, a teachers union that endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Florida’s VAM formula. August 6, 2015. August 5, 2015. VAM stands for Value Added Model and it is used to evaluate the state’s teachers. Below is the formula. Y i=μ (g=1) M δ g x g (j=1) K β j x j θ (k)i ω (mk)i ε i;. The use of VAM by the way has been widely panned by both education and statistics experts. No other profession would be treated so shabbily.

http://ieavoice.org/2015/08/08/well-ill-be-vamned-why-using-student-test-scores-to-evaluate-teachers-is-a-sham
Well I’ll be VAMned! Why using student test scores to evaluate teachers is a sham. August 8, 2015. August 7, 2015. Reblogged from the The Washington Post’s. If by now you don’t know what VAM is, you should. It’s shorthand for value-added modeling. Use of student test scores to evaluate teachers has created some situations in schools that are, simply, ridiculous. In New York City, for an example, an art teacher explained in this post. Here’s a piece by educator Carol Burris showing, with data, how using g...
