Chanel Marie Payne, New Orleans School Board 2020 candidate

“There is critical importance in the structured democratic voice of teachers, specifically as it relates to their professional performance. Educator evaluations that lack educator input and base evaluations largely on test scores ignore that fact that only a small percentage of test scores are attributed to the teacher.

I think it is important that the people who put in the most work are invited to participate in process of developing and implementing an accountability framework that will judge their professional performance. Allowing educators to have a voice as it relates to accountability builds trust and creates an incentive for more voice.”
