Cindy's Four Point Plan for Common Sense Education
Tenure






 
 
 
 

 

Almost all teachers are personally committed to every student who walks into their classroom.  Like every profession, a handful of educators are misplaced.  With this in mind, and knowing that every child deserves a committed teacher every year, I believe we must re-evaluate the effectiveness of teacher tenure.  Protecting a handful of teachers who are misplaced is not in the best interest of our children. 

I believe and will …

Support committed teachers, unequivocally.
Support reevaluating the effectiveness of teacher tenure for those
   who are misplaced in education.

·      I oppose …

Arbitrary teacher evaluation. Teacher performance measures
   should be evidenced-based and require principals provide
   meaningful instructional guidance and leadership vs. superficial
   evaluations with little principle support.
