The first draft of the New York teacher and principal evaluation regulations has been posted online for comments from the public. It looks like it might be a slog to go through the 40-page document, but the six-page summary is here. The deadline to submit comments is Friday, April 29.
In my first look at the proposal, it hit me that I probably oppose any evaluations based on New York state tests. "Something fishy" about New York State Regents scoring

DRAFT REGULATIONS FOR TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL EVALUATION POSTED FOR COMMENT
Cross-posted at Education Quick TakesLast year, legislation was enacted requiring an annual performance evaluation of all teachers and principals. These evaluations will play a significant role in a wide array of employment decisions, including promotion, retention, tenure determinations, termination, and supplemental compensation, and will be a significant factor in teacher and principal professional development. The Regents Advisory Task Force on Teacher and Principal Effectiveness -- composed of teachers, principals, superintendents of schools, school board representatives, school district and BOCES officials, and other interested parties -- has been meeting regularly since September 2010. And the Board of Regents has discussed various topics related to the evaluation system at its meetings in January, February and March 2011.Earlier this month, at the Regents April meeting, the Task Force submitted a comprehensive report containing recommendations for implementing the evaluation system in New York. . . . . The draft regulations will be on the Regents agenda at their meeting in May.
