Peer evaluation is NOT "teachers turning on each other". I've participated in peer evaluation and loved it. It's definitely better than the stupid state mandated program we have now. A group of my peers came in my room, watched my lesson and then sat down with me and gave me feedback. It was a very positive experience. Their observations were added to my formal evaluation, which was a portfolio rather than a number like it is now. It was much more comprehensive.

Randi supports a halt to high stakes testing. Arne called for a postponement the DAY AFTER he was contacted by AFT members. Gee, that sort of proves activism works.

Of course testing is going to happen. Testing is part of education. We're never going to get rid of it. How silly to think it will ever go away.
