Withdraw House Bill 1033

House Bill 1033 seeks to establish a measure of teacher performance and effectiveness at the state level that will cause schools to evaluate
students and teachers solely on a limited test which limit teacher
instructional practice, narrows the local curriculum, and labels teachers, students and schools alike as failures.

Research does not adequately show that basing teacher evaluations on student test scores is an effective indicator of best teacher practices.

Student testing is designed to be diagnostic, and this bill misuses
testing as a tool to invoke punitive measures against students and
teachers.


Withdraw House Bill 1033.
