In today's Dallas Morning News, more evidence that the DISD does not tell the truth to its own employees.
They fought--and won--the right to keep CEI's out of the public domain. They say it is private, but that makes no sense, since the said earlier that THEY DON'T USE THEM FOR EVALUATIONS.
Which is it? They do, or they don't?
I would gladly show any parent my CEI. I could show them how CEI's are based a on a small grouping of kids. I can show how it makes no sense. If they want to remove their kid from my class because of my CEI alone, let 'em!
I teach so well, it would be further proof that the CEI is a crock. They would see how mine and many other CEI's really do NOT reflect what is going on in the classrooms.It will show them that distilling their child--your child--to one or tests a year makes no sense. THAT should bring them comfort, eh?
When people think DISD employees are irrational, emotional or see conspiracies everywhere, they laugh. This is just ONE MORE ITEM of how they say one thing and do another.
THAT is why so many people opposed the bonus pay. If you can't trust them to be straight with you on evaluating you for your base pay, do you really think they will be fair on a bonus?
