Student Rating Systems
The statistics unit of my college class spends quite a bit of time talking about valid studies. As an extra credit assignment, I asked my class to make up a survey that could evaluate their teachers. It is interesting that not one question in this study deals with test grades. Kids are a lot brighter than the people running the school system.
Survey 1:
This is a confidential assessment that will help evaluate your teacher’s performance.
Consider each of the following statements below. Then, rate them accordingly to your teacher’s performance.
Statement | 1 2 3 4 5 Never Rarely Sometimes Frequently Always |
1. Is available outside the classroom | |
2. Provides clear lessons | |
3. Provides lessons with an objective/aim | |
4. Actively involves students into the lesson | |
5. Seeks constructive feedback from students | |
6. Knows and addresses students by name | |
7. Gives students sufficient time to finish exams | |
8. Values what students have to say | |
9. Communicates with students respectfully | |
10. Explains homework efficiently |
Statement | 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Disagree Neither Agree Strongly Disagree Agree/ Agree Disagree |
11. Treats students equally | |
12. Assists students individually, if needed | |
13. Displays the enjoyment of teaching | |
14. Actively involves students into the lesson | |
15. Arrives to class late on regular basis | |
16. Promotes a great classroom environment | |
17. Teaches lessons at a reasonable pace | |
18. Informs students of grading policy | |
19. Speaks in an appropriate tone | |
20. Admits to mistakes and fixes immediately |
Comments:
Purpose of this assessment
The purpose of this assessment is to be reliable means of determining the quality of education a teacher gives. This assessment is designed to remove as many biases as possible. The confidentiality of the test ensures the participant is being as truthful as possible. And the comments section is used to identify any confounding variables. For an example, if a student mentions they have had teacher twice and failed both courses, we take this into account.
How to interpret this test
The Maximum points a teacher can receive on this assessment is 100 points,
The Minimum points a teacher can receive on this assessment is 20 points
Ranges
Excellent teacher = 90 – 100 points
Great teacher = 80- 89 points
Satisfactory teacher= 70-79 points
Teacher needing a vast amount of improvement = 60 – 69 points

Do It Right In The First Place
James came to me and asked why he still had a credit recovery assignment. He said he did the last one and was sure he passed. I checked and found it was incomplete. When I told him, he said, "Ms, I stopped when I answered enough questions to pass." I told him that wasn't good enough, he had to complete the assignment and since he didn't, he will have to start again. He didn't think that was fair since he only had about 6 or 7 left on the original. "Too bad", I said, "you should have done it right in the first place." He left angry. I don't know whether he will do it or not and frankly, I don't care. These kids expect the world handed to them on a silver platter and I'm not serving.

I Can't Believe We Ate The Whole Thing
OPEN SANDWICH MEDLEY
Serves Approx. 3-4 people 69.95
Corned Beef, Tongue, Roast Beef, Turkey, Pastrami, Salami, Chopped Liver, Eggs, Mushrooms and Onions, garnished with choice of 2 of the following salads: potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw or cucumber salad.
I didn't think the four of us would even come close to finishing. But, when you have out of town visitors from Houston who want NY deli, there is nothing else
to try.
Boy, was I wrong.

Kids Last Again
The students at Packemin were chosen to field test Integrated Algebra questions. Instead of much needed regents review, the kids get to spend a period bubbling answers to questions that have no effect on their grade. Oh yes, the questions are good for review but my kids need teacher direction and constant feedback which they will not get by doing this exam. We have 11 teaching days left. Out of these 11 days, 2 are devoted to a final exam, which really only leaves me 9 days to instill enough information into their brains to get them to pass. My kids will be testing questions for a company that will make big bucks writing the exam. They should have a choice as to whether they want to do these questions or not. They should be paid for their time.

The deed was something that should not have been done. The perb tried to worm his way out of trouble by changing the description of what he had done. He also promised never to do the deed again. The DA was good and the cross examination went better than anyone could have hoped:DA: Perb, if you catch your wife sleeping with another man, and she says she won't do this next year, is this acceptable to you?
Perb: Well, that is not the same...
DA: Just answer the question, yes or no.
Perb: But,,,
Judge: Perb, answer the question.
Perb: No
DA: And, if your wife says she wasn't sleeping, she was napping or snoozing, would that be okay?
Perb: You can't compare.
DA: Just answer yes or no.
Judge: Answer the question.
Perb: No
DA: So changing the verb and promising not to repeat a performance does not make the act forgivable.
I rest my case.
Judge: Guilty as charged.
The perb's eyes got red and if you looked carefully, you could see tears welling up in them. He was a broken man.
Labels:
guilty as charged,

Joining The Line

If my job will be tied to the success of my students, I'm glad to be getting out now.
Some of my algebra kids
1. Don't do homework, or don't bother to check the ones they did.
2. Don't bother to open the regents book while we are going over problems.
3. Refuse to walk up to the front to pick up a calculator. (Heaven forbid they brought their own.)
4. Talk non stop.
5. Don't go to tutoring.
It wouldn't matter that I spent my lunch tutoring Wendy. She is the only one who bothers to come for help and she is not in my class so I get no points for her success. And, all the college recommendations I've typed would mean nothing either.
I've given it my all. There is nothing left. The unemployment line would be my new friend.
A Knife In The Heart Of Education
As bad as the first period was, the next two got worse. No one showed up, not for math or for the other subject help was being offered in. I had even called the parents of my students, telling them of this opportunity and my help. I've stopped the kids in the hall and almost begged them to come. A colleague said she couldn't understand why the kids aren't taking advantage of this free gift they are being offered. I don't agree. The kids know they can't do the work and can't stand the frustration of failing again. They know that they couldn't do the work in class and have no expectations of being able to do it on their own.

What A Group
These kids are tenth graders. It feels good to know there will be a few people who will miss me next year. They aren't great students but they are fantastic people. I know I will miss every single one of them.
No Child...
If you missed her last show, don't make the same mistake again. She is fantastic and, she speaks the truth about education today.
Who Says You Can't Get This For Free?

I so wanted to open my mouth. There is so much wrong with this that once I started I didn't think I could stop. I wasn't in the mood for a confrontation and I knew my words would start one. But, I have to get them out, so I posted them here.

Scared
A beautiful building.
A comfortable waiting room, complete with coffee, tea, television, computers and wi fi access.
Caring staff and wonderful doctors.
It is still a place of despair, a place we go for hope but often come home from only with worry.

When trying to determine whether a child should move ahead or not, we are often asked, "Can you guarantee he will pass the regents?" I always answered "There are no guarantees in life." I realized today that was the wrong answer. I should have said, "Can you guarantee he won't?"When we don't give someone the chance to prove themselves, we might be altering the path their lives might take forever. There are no guarantees in life but some things are worth the gamble. Here is one I've written about recently and there are others, many others.
