HB 1033 by Rep. Frank Hoffman Resurrects Race to the Top Application
HB 1033 by Rep. Frank Hoffman Resurrects Race to the Top Application
Take Action Now!
What USDOE rejected, Hoffman/Jindal want for Louisiana House Bill 1033 filed by Rep. Frank Hoffman, R-West Monroe, is a bill LAE strongly opposes.
House Bill 1033 attempts to impose all the flaws of Race to the Top. Rep. Hoffman's bill, which is a product of Governor Jindal, attempts to subject all teachers and administrators of Louisiana to the failed policies, plans and regulations the US Department of Education rejected in the state's Race to the Top application.
Representative Hoffman's statement that good teachers will love the bill and bad teachers will hate the bill is a classic example of not understanding teacher concerns about appropriate use of standardized assessment and teacher accountability.
House Bill 1033 seeks to establish an unequal and inconsistent measure of teacher performance and effectiveness by basing 50% of a teacher's evaluation on student test scores and would allow a teacher's evaluation to become public record. Research does not adequately show that basing teacher evaluations on student test scores is an effective indicator of best practices. Student testing is designed to be diagnostic, and this bill misuses testing as a tool to invoke punitive measures against students and teachers... Bottom-line: HB 1033 scapegoats and demonizes public school teachers and administrators in Louisiana schools.
HB 1033 is bad for Louisiana teachers and public education.
Take action now!!!"
