The majority of teachers in Collier and Lee county schools were deemed effective on the state's new evaluation system.
Ratings of teachers and administrators were released today by the state Department of Education, which broke them down by district and school. Individual ratings were not released.
The possible scores are highly effective, effective, needs improvement, developing or unsatisfactory. The evaluation model has led to controversy because it's based in part on a value added model, which is meant to determine teachers' impact on student learning. But critics point out that the model judges some teachers on subjects they don't teach, because it's based on reading and math scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.
Below are the ratings earned by teachers in Collier and Lee, compared with those for the entire state. Some teachers were not evaluated this year.
Collier
Highly effective - 4.3 percent
Effective - 95.2 percent

Developing - .2 percent

So its average teachers, teaching mostly average kids to do an average job.
Give them an average pay increase and expect them to keep up the average job.
