AFT President Randi Weingarten's recent speeches on the direction of the union as it relates to teacher evaluations is being welcomed by a broad cross section of leadership nationally. NYT recently wrote the ditorial below, but this is just one of many from major media outlets. This editorial references The New Teachers Project, which recently conducted a study in Cincinnati Public Schools. Their recommendations are aligned with Weingarten's comments and really position Cincinnati to take action in the emerging contract negotiations that make it a national leader in innovation. We need to be encouraging both the union and district administration to be bold in building on the innovative ideas that are often lost to many in the current contract.....and then support effective implementation of what emerges so it makes a difference for kids every day!
