[I]ndividual merit pay based on student test score improvement will not reward the best teachers…No one wants to create 125,000 new patronage jobs in New Jersey, but that’s the risk we run under the governor’s proposal. What makes him think teachers will do their best work in a climate of fear and uncertainty? And what happened to the governor’s nine-member task force, which is supposed to recommend an evaluation system on March 1? Obviously, that was a sham, because this administration doesn’t listen to anyone – even its own hand-picked appointees. (Link here.)
