Message to Members on APPR
Fellow MTA Members,
As you may or may not recall, there has been legislation that NYSUT has pushed for to eliminate the mandate that school districts use state test scores in teacher ratings. Finally, after years of lobbing, a new law returns the decision back to local school districts and makes sure that any teacher evaluation system is a subject of collective bargaining. It also keeps these test scores from being included on students' permanent records. With the enactment of this new law students and teachers will be better protected from high stakes tests.
Visit the NYSUT website here for what the law does and does not do.
Now that NYSUT’s APPR bill has been signed into law, we will continue to advocate for a meaningful assessment system for NYS students that will measure student progress more accurately and address the concerns raised by teachers and parents alike.
Have a great final few months to the school year and as always if you have any questions regarding the new APPR law or any other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
