NYSUT, State Ed to propose new legislation to revise teacher evaluations
Melinda Person, president of New York State United Teachers, and state Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa are scheduled to jointly deliver the proposed legislation to the State Capitol, which union leaders said “rewrites New York’s flawed teacher evaluation system to finally support educators, administrators and students.”
"The extraordinary agreement is the result of deliberative discussions among the union, state officials and scores of stakeholders to fix the punitive evaluation system that was foisted upon teachers in 2010,” NYSUT said in a release.
