Why I GO
"I do feel the need of some sort of reflection process from the school in order to continue to grow as a teacher. I strongly believe that the evaluation should not be punitive or feel like it. Having tests scores and teacher pay connected is a dangerous trend and will not be conducive to increasing the quality of teachers and teaching in this country."
