My big problem with the evaluator isn't with the fact he has taught elementary grades--his big problem is he is too fucking young at 29 to even have a CLUE what "effective" teaching is.
The teacher is a little off-base when he complains about the subject area difference, but you are never evaluated on subject area knowledge anyway. After all, if you don't know the subject as a secondary-level teacher, you wouldn't be certified in the first place. The problem is the evaluator doesn't have the experience to judge "effective" lesson planning and delivery of content.
Snip:
A veteran teacher was suspended Thursday for rejecting the evaluator chosen for him under a Gates-funded initiative that is revolutionizing the way the Hillsborough County School District assesses its teachers.
School and union officials believe this is the first such act of defiance under Empowering Effective Teachers, a complex system of mentoring and evaluation funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
He should also complain about the Gates' sticking their noses into an area they know nothing about.
