An article in the New York Times refers to discussions under way regarding evaluating teachers by test scores, predicting test scores of teachers, comparing teachers of similar experience levels, and maybe even a little more.

Not really sure how this is going to do much more than stress out teachers who are already overworked and make the job even more unpleasant and unfeasible for those could actually do it well.

Perhaps they should try and put these resources into training and supporting teachers, students, and families, and improving the quality of the assessments.
