More acclaim for the Professional Growth System: Stan Karp of the Rethinking Schools blog writes about the system in his latest post. Mr. Karp looks at how collaboratively developed educator evaluation plans, like the PGS in Montgomery County, go farther to help improve teacher quality than test score driven schemes do. There are quotes from MCEA President Doug Prouty highlighting the success of the program in looking at our profession using multiple measures and providing support to educators who need it.
Mr. Karp's essay about the MCEA/MCPS collaboration on the Professional Growth System will also be featured in the book Pencils Down: Why We Need to Rethink High-Stakes Testing and Accountability, edited by Wayne Au and Melissa Bollow Tempel, which will be released next spring.
