Zepeda

Georgia’s proposed new  teacher evaluation method is “fundamentally flawed,” said Sally Zepeda, a professor in educational administration in UGA’s College of Education in a June 22 Athens Banner-Herald story.

The U.S. Department of Education recently offered states with waivers from the federal No Child Left Behind Law permission to wait another year before implementing controversial new teacher evaluation methods.

Georgia qualifies, but state education officials don’t know yet if they will accept the offer to wait until the 2015-16 school year to implement a new assessment method that heavily weighs student achievement and test scores, the Banner-Herald story reported.
