KOB - The superintendent of New Mexico's largest school district is speaking out and demanding changes from the Public Education Department.
Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Winston Brooks said the state's current teacher evaluation system is not good enough and he is hoping PED will reconsider.
"I applaud PED on one hand, for tackling this issue, but on the other hand, [I] hope we can slow down a bit," Brooks stated.
Brooks also said one his complaints is that student test scores account for 50 percent of a teachers overall evaluation, even if their subject has nothing to do with the test subjects of reading and math.
In response, A spokesperson for PED released a statement: “We’re grateful for the input, however nearly all of the concerns raised are based on misinformation. New Mexico’s waiver from NCLB (No Child Left Behind) requires a new system and several districts have volunteered to try it out. We invite APS to join them.” Read full story here: News New Mexico
