It only makes sense that Top Notch teachers would affect their peers which in turn affects student achievement. The possibilities are endless when it comes to merit pay in regards to these teachers and more importantly the impact these teachers would have on students and other teachers alike. A plan like this may impact the burnt out veteran and create an atmosphere far more conducive to the learning process for both students and younger teachers.
The class discussions from Saturday were interesting to me because I suppose I was naive to a degree when it came to the work involved in hiring. The three deep reference check is a policy I think a district may be silly not to implement. As I reflect on the conversation I can think of two teachers who were let go that this policy could have saved everyone involved a lot of time.
