The Learning Network: Reactions to Rating Teachers

Meant to be used in connection with the article "In Teacher Ratings, Good Test Scores Are Sometimes Not Good Enough" also available on The New York Times website, this resource provides 12 short-answer writing prompts that ask both basic recall, as well as open-ended higher-level questions about this news article. A great catalyst for discussion or journal writing, this would be a welcome resource in any Language Arts or ESL classroom.
