The MTA has significant concerns about the “performance-based” licensure system that the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is exploring and may propose adopting in the future. Under such a system, teacher and administrator licenses could be tied to their employment-based evaluations and/or evidence of student learning. We are urging members to share their views on this issue at these upcoming DESE forums.
