Evaluations yearly in Tennessee on their First to the Top Act annual system

The Tennessee First to the Top Act requires, beginning in Fiscal Year 2011, annual evaluation of all teachers and principals and that personnel decisions – including promotion, retention, tenure and compensation – be based in part on these evaluations. Fifty percent of the new evaluation must consist of student achievement data, of which 35 percent will be Tennessee Value Added Assessment System (TVAAS) data or some other comparable measure of student growth. The remaining 15 percent will be other measures of student achievement as determined by the committee.

About Me

El Diablo
I am a blogger, certified public school administrator and school attendance teacher. I studied American education history at the doctoral level defended a thesis on the Puerto Rican bibliophile Arthur A. Schomburg (1874-1938). I have lectured extensively, serving as a curator of exhibits on Schomburg in many institutions in Central and Western New York. I am one of the few Schomburg scholars today lecturing on his Puerto Rican heritage, and his contributions to the history of American education and black intellectual history. Also, a tenured school attendance teacher, served as chairperson of the New York State Attendance Teachers Association and executive board member. Also, past delegate chair, delegate, alternate, council of delegates in the union, and New York State Delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly.
