on teacher assessment from MCAS

you can only use MCAS growth data for 16% of teachers in the Commonwealth
(that would gr.3-8 teachers in a self-contained classroom)
there would be an indirect connection to another 17% of teachers (gr. 9&10 teachers in English and math)
"there must be multiple measures"
one quarter of teachers have no curriculum frameworks for what they teach
"when's the last serious work we did with art teachers, music teachers?"
"...no way for them to learn around student activities and affect on student learning"
