Free Press Article and the Education Trust Report on Teacher Evaluations: Dearborn included in Dataset.

I recently spoke to a reporter from the Detroit Free Press and she used one of my statements that was published in the front section of the Detroit Free Press on September 20th.  Here is the link to the article which is a response to a recent report by the education trust.  https://www.freep.com/article/20120920/NEWS06/309200269/-1/7daysarchives/Most-teachers-found-effective-rating-system-questioned

They used teacher evaluation data from dearborn in their report.  The report is definitely flawed as there is no link to achievement data or any other data to support their opinion other than the fact that the authors believe more teachers should be rated at an ineffective or minimally effective level.

Here is the link to the Education Trust Report. https://www.edtrust.org/sites/edtrust.org/files/publications/files/Strengthening%20Michigan%27s%20Teaching%20Force_0.pdf

I was responding to this article with my statement in the Detroit Free Press.
