School Officials, Teachers Debate Governor's Education Reform
Governor Daugaard's education reform proposals have sparked a growing debate over merit pay and teacher evaluations. While nearly everyone agrees that effective teacher evaluations are critical to improving education, there is less consensus on whether teachers should receive extra or "merit" pay if they receive high marks on their evaluations. Last summer, a legislative work group explored the Danielson Model as one option for teacher evaluations. You can read a discussion of these issues in the Rapid City Journal.
