There isn’t an incentive to get rid of a student who is low-performing if that aspect is taken into account when calculating the teachers’ impact on student success.
- permo-w 2y agoa student who is low-performing is not necessarily a student whose grades are low. they could also be a student who struggles to improve. and let's not forget the other perverse incentive here: if growth is all that's taken into account what happens to the students whose grades are already good?
- gnicholas 2y agoIt wouldn’t just be looking at grades, of course. If you have a 5th grader getting A’s that turns into a 6th grader getting A’s, no one would assume they haven’t learned anything. You could look at scores on the many standardized tests that kids already take, in combination with grades.
