NCTQ doesn't like our new evaluation system

...according to their latest report, but, before we get too concerned, let's remember who it is we're talking about here. They're not exactly an evenhanded arbiter. Also, what they're criticizing sounds like praise to me:

Massachusetts' new regulations do not require student performance measures to be a "significant" factor in teacher evaluations. And, the regulations leave too much discretion and too many details to individual evaluators to choose student achievement measures and make decisions about what constitutes satisfactory student growth.

So...not locking in on student test scores being a huge chunk, and local administrative discretion. Sounds right to me.
