One of the most contentious things of the last few years has been the new teacher evaluation system and the accompanying pay scale. The implementation has been a bit rocky with 100+ teachers that earned “Distinguished” classification not receiving a pay increase because their salary was higher than the increase.
The old system, PDAS, rewarded teachers based on doing time in DISD rather than looking at their effectiveness. The evaluation included 8 spot observations compared to the 10 you receive under TEI and did not involve looking at test scores or student input like the new system does.
Some see it as a more complete and egalitarian system that rewards hard work and progress, while others see it as a disaster that was the culmination of a district takeover plot engineered by former superintendent Mike Miles and his board allies. Either way, it looks like it's here to stay.
