NYSUT's Subject Area Committees (Christine Dunne works as a LOTE Committee member and Bev Voos works as a Math, Science, Technology Committee member) met March 11 in Albany to work with Dr. Laura Goe of the TQ Center. Special emphasis was placed on multiple measures of student growth to be used in teacher evaluation. The link to the Center, though, has a wealth of resources.

NYSUT Principles for Taking the Lead in Defining Excellence in PreK-12 Public Education
NYSUT Media Relations, April 30, 2010
1. Only quality teachers should teach New York's learners. Quality teachers must be well prepared, supported with adequate resources, justly compensated, and fairly evaluated.
2. Comprehensive instruction, programs and services must be provided in a safe, healthy and orderly learning environment to ensure that the "whole child" is educated.
3. Quality school administration is characterized by appropriate and relevant preparation, professional collaboration and genuine accountability.
4. The participation of practitioners as equal partners ensures the development of quality educational goals. Quality educational decisions may only be reached through established and respected agreements between labor and management.
5. Quality teaching and learning encompasses clear academic standards, well- developed curricula, skillful instruction, and fair and aligned assessments. Strategies to improve teaching and learning must be informed by student needs, professional judgment, and multiple sources of thoroughly analyzed data.
6. Every member of the education community must share responsibility equally and be accountable for the quality of teaching and learning in our schools.
7. The local, state and federal governments must provide policies, programs, and funding to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education.
