California School Enacts Ambitious Change

The Los Angeles Times (3/28, Song) reports that science instructor John Laird "and the other instructors at" Fedde International Studies Academy in Hawaiian Gardens, CA "have embarked on an ambitious turnaround program that has embraced some of the most controversial measures in education today: evaluating teachers based, in part, on student test scores; allowing instructors to review administrators; and paying teachers more if test scores rise. While such measures are becoming more common throughout the nation, they have been staunchly resisted almost everywhere in California."
