Article about teacher evaluation

this is the link to the article ^

I liked this article a lot for several reasons:
1) it recognized the importance of evaluating teachers on how well they are doing their jobs
2) it recognized that standardized testing only paints a portion of the big picture and should not be the only method used to evaluate teachers
3) it gives examples of other ways educators can be evaluated so that a more effective picture is drawn
4) it recognizes that test scores do not show what is actually going on in the classroom
