Bill Gates on the impotance of giving specific feedback to teachers for improvement and the designing of a teacher evaluation system that relies on a number of factors beyond just student test scores. He says teaching is more complex than that and requires other factors such as peer group and other educator assessments based on classroom observations, student feedback, and items that reflect a focus on improved teaching skills and effectiveness in the classroom setting. Public disclosure of ratings is a bad idea says Gates, because it is not intended to embarrass teachers.

Support LyrArc

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
