Deputy Chancellor David Weiner visits Mrs. Matthusen's AP English Class
Mrs. Matthusen, AP Language and Composition teacher:
As part of our unit on issues in education, Deputy Chancellor Weiner visited AP Language and Composition. He gave students an overview of his role in the city's Department of Education, discussing the changing methods of evaluating teachers. He got our students' feedback on their own thoughts about teacher evaluations, and how to include student voices in the process. Students referenced our articles by Jay Mathews and Brent Staples that covered the role of grades in teacher evaluations, and the meaning of grades in education.
