Huffington Post: New York City Teacher Ratings: How Its Value-Added Model Compares To Other Districts

Posted: 02 Mar 2012 10:09 AM PST

This piece comes to us courtesy of The Hechinger Report.

New York City schools erupted in controversy last week when the school district released its "value-added" teacher scores to the public after a yearlong battle with the local teachers union. The city cautioned that the scores had large margins of error, and many education leaders around the country believe that publishing teachers' names alongside their ratings is a bad idea.

Still, a growing number of states are now using evaluation systems based on students' standardized test-scores in decisions about teacher tenure, dismissal and compensation. So how does the city's formula stack up to methods used elsewhere?

Huffington Post: Sandra Fluke Receives Call From Obama After Rush Limbaugh 'Slut' Comments

Posted: 02 Mar 2012 10:19 AM PST

President Obama on Friday placed a call to Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law school student at the heart of the debate over the contraception law, thanking her for speaking out on the issue.

The call came a day after conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh demanded that Fluke release tapes of her having sex in exchange for the contraception that she argued should be covered by employers. Fluke was set to go on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports when the president rang her on her phone. She took the call while waiting in the green room.

"He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women," she told Mitchell, who received permission from the White House to discuss the exchange between Fluke and Obama. "What was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud. And that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me. So I just appreciated that very much."
