Jack O'Connell, the state superintendent of schools, visited Long Beach Tuesday to discuss programs that tie student test performance into teacher evaluations, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Times reports:
The Long Beach Unified School District's use of student scores to assess the effectiveness of programs, instructional strategies and teachers is a rarity in California, and state Supt. of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell called it a model for other California school districts during a hastily arranged round-table discussion. Other participants included district administrators and staff.
