Your analysis is spot on. The averaging of these multiple measures feels a bit like averaging one’s pulse, cholesterol & BMI.

What’s really sad is that we’re spending billions of dollars and countless hours of principals’ time collecting data with these multiple measures, simply to rank 90% of all teachers somewhere between a 2 and a 3 on a 4 point scale, while offering those same teachers little or no actionable information as to how they might improve their practice.

My BMI/Pulse/Cholesterol rating is a 2.46375; what’s yours?

Kudos, Doug, for highlighting the consequences of implementation to educators.
