How would you feel about losing your license to teach – not just your job – based on your evaluation or your students’ test scores? Sound unbelievable? Think again.
DESE officials are holding regional “town halls” to explore this concept and may propose adopting it in the future. The town hall hearing in our region will be held on Wednesday, November 19th at Malden High School from 4:30 pm-7:00 pm or Thursday, November 20th at Bridgewater State University from 4:30 pm-7:00 pm.
We must organize to fight this ill-conceived proposal and to ensure that a teachers’ license is in no way affected by evaluation or student test scores. Please let me know if you are free to join me at either of these rallies.
