Video Evaluation of Teacher Effectiveness
The Gates Foundation has invested $335 million in video evaluation of teachers: "The goal is to study what is taking place on a scientific level; to note what is working and what is not working... While we all wait for Superman to come along for our children and for the economy, we are fortunate to have those with the means reach out and do something about our failing schools."http://groundupct.wordpress.com /2010/12/04/gates-foundation-invest-335- million-in-teacher-evaluation/
