State Botches Release Of New Data On Teacher Evaluations

Florida's Department of Education on Wednesday rolled out the results of a sweeping new teacher evaluation system that is designed to be a more accurate, helpful and data-driven measure of how well teachers actually get students to learn. And then, within hours of releasing the data, the department pulled the numbers off its website and sheepishly admitted that much of it was wrong.  Curtis Krueger, Marlene Sokol, Jeffrey S.
