Maryland has the nation’s top-rated public schools, but we know we can do better. We’re already making record investments in Maryland public schools. To further improve, we need advice and feedback from the very group most responsible for our ranking: Maryland educators. The 2013 TELL Maryland Survey was designed for that very purpose.
This year’s survey, conducted in February, was the third in a series developed in collaboration with the New Teacher Center. With the great support of Governor O’Malley—and working with the Maryland State Education Association, the Baltimore Teachers Union, local school system superintendents, and other partners—educators responded to this year’s survey in record numbers. More than 50,000 educators completed this survey, an increase of nearly 8,000 from the first survey in 2009 and more than 3,000 over the 2011 numbers.
The 2013 TELL Maryland Survey Results are now available. The survey asked Maryland public school teachers and administrators their thoughts about school leadership, student conduct, and other factors key to building stronger classrooms. Data compiled through the survey will help guide school improvement work over the next two years.

oh yeah I'm sure Baltimore has the best schools in the country! NOT!
ReplyDeleteAll the dopes keep on believing MD has the top schools in the nation.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how dumb the MD residents are. The only reason MD rates high is because of modified test scores which are possible by "diagnosing" kids with every "disorder" they can dream up. Don't fall for it parents. Do you homework. Your kid may be different but they don't have the made up ailment du jour of "highly functional autism" or the other overused-Asperger's. They are using you child so they can modify the test scores making it appear as though MD has great schools.
All public students in Maryland, regardless of "disorder" as you term some of the challenges facing our kids, take the test. Do your homework. Less than 3% of a school's student body can qualify for "Alt-MSA".

9:52 is just spouting what he hears, without actually taking the effort to find anything out. 7:29 is correct, there are severe limits on who is exempt from the testing. It doesn't matter if they're "highly functional autism," aspergers or whatever else 9:52 is so apparently NOT an expert of.
ReplyDeleteHe's just proof that a mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste. Use yours, and quit drinking the Glen Beck kool-aid. Disagree if you must, but at least know the facts. Better luck next time.
It's more than 3% in Wicomico County schools alone 7:29 and 10:11 according to a recent DT's article so DO YOU HOMEWORK!
ReplyDeleteJust because you are a public school teacher don't think for one second anyone is impressed! Most of you don't know what the hell is going on and are fools brainwashed by your "supervisors" and before that by your college "professor."
It's so simple to get a teaching degree it's sickening. Most that matters is you are capable of being brainwashed by propaganda.
