HOUSTON FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
Please include the following to the December 4, 2008 Instructional Consultation agenda:
1. EVAAS scores and teacher evaluations
Is there currently a plan, or is a plan being considered, that would link teacher evaluations with EVAS scores? We have already received several complaints, primarily in the South Region, from teachers who are being told that the EVAS data compiled for their students will be used on teacher assessments, and be the basis for growth plans and terminations.
2. ASPIRE
We continue to hear that teachers are being required to take the ASPIRE training. Last month we were assured that this training was not mandatory and that word would be sent to building principals.
3. Chapter 37 removal of students.
We are once again getting complaints regarding building principals who are ignoring the rules in Chapter 37 of TEC regarding removal of students for disciplinary reasons.
