These are articles on the topic of teacher accountability linked to student test scores. I'm making for a class presentation with my group on this; my side of the issue is "con" (surprise, surprise).
I'm also trying to get some articles in there that are moderate, or that suggest ways of dealing with the Race to the Top stimulus rules that aren't entirely simple-minded.
Feel free to add in comments or articles, or to use any of these articles for a forum in the main section of Fireside.
