One HISD teacher said it's 'not right' to adjust salary based on evaluations because if students are having one bad day, it could bring the educator to the bottom percent.
Pooja LodhiaUnder Superintendent Miles Miles' leadership, Houston ISD is creating a new teacher evaluation system, prompting concerns across the district.When Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles took over last year, he said one of his biggest goals was to change how teachers and principals in the district are evaluated and paid.
Like all 11,000 teachers in HISD, Carly was observed by school administrators much more closely than in the past year, which will likely increase. "It's just so stressful. You could lose a job because a teacher comes in and the kids are having a bad day, and you can't even ask what's going on," a current HISD teacher said. "You just got to keep teaching and yet you're being evaluated on this. That's not right."Hundreds of people protested the superintendent's new evaluation system for principals in March, building up to a dramatic board meeting that ended with Miles reversing his plan at 2 a.m.
