avaliação de desempenho [valor acrescentado] docente... disponibilização pública dos dados... só pelos 'states'...! por cá ficamos à espera desta 'transparência'...? se é que é de transparência que se trata...!

"It seems as though New York City newspapers are going to receive the value-added scores of the city’s public school teachers, and publish them in an online database, as was the case in Los Angeles.*

In my opinion, the publication will not only serve no useful purpose educationally, but it is also a grossly unfair infringement on the privacy of teachers. I have also argued previously that putting the estimates online may serve to bias future results by exacerbating the non-random assignment of students to teachers (parents requesting [or not requesting] specific teachers based on published ratings), though it’s worth noting that the city is now using a different model.

That said, I don’t think there’s any way to avoid publication, given that about a dozen newspapers will receive the data, and it’s unlikely that every one of them will decline to do so. So, in addition to expressing my firm opposition, I would offer what I consider to be an absolutely necessary suggestion: If newspapers are going to publish the estimates, they need to publish the error margins too."
