Hi, Katie! Thank you for your article about educator effectiveness! It is really interesting to me. Thanks!

I think I am just confused a few things.

-I was wondering whether Educator effectiveness means 'the performance of an educator~' or 'a method~' (first sentences of 'Educator Effectiveness' and 'Definition' section).

-In Educator Effectiveness section, it is mentioned that 'Teachers are given on-going feedback....based on classroom observation' I think I understand the measures of educator effectiveness are multiple ways from the 'Definition' and 'Purpose' section, so is it just based on 'only' classroom observation or are there other ways to measure educator effectiveness?

-In Purpose section, how do you think to split paragraph between 'two teachers' and 'Today' to divide between past times and today's measurement issues?

-In Purpose section, ' ability to think more abstractly 'then' peers' --> maybe, is it a typo?? of 'than' ???

-In How it is being used section, I think you missed?? '.' between 'a similar model''To date only a'.

-I really like that you have many sources about Educator effectiveness, I was wondering how it is connected to your article because there are just two links in main article. Especially, in Criticisms part, 'Many argue, 'Others argue, 'Some have commented', are they all from the same link, number '2'?

Educator effectiveness feedback
Hi Katie, Thank you for your article, it makes an interesting read on Educator Effectiveness.

Here are my thoughts:
 * Minor edit: According to Wikipedia editing policies, the first section title "Educator effectiveness" should not be there. Your first paragraph starting with"  educator effectiveness is a term used to ..." should be the first line of the article.
 * In the first lead section you talk about Educator effectiveness happening in cycles, and that there are on and off cycle year. Can you explain in a sentence what an off cycle and an on cycle year means?
 * Purpose section: Strong section!
 * Definition section: "classroom teachers and they often follow some version of Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching" This is an excellent place to link to Heidi's article on Charlotte Danielson, once you both move your articles to mainspace.
 * How is it being used (in different states?) (Countries?) There is no mention of what other countries are doing for measuring educator effectiveness. Also, can you give examples of other educator effectiveness systems? AIW, Value Added etc..

Overall, I enjoyed reading your draft, please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Katie!!!

Thanks for writing such a descent wiki page.

The content is short, but enough for a person who is unfamiliar with the topic to understand what is Educator Effectiveness. In the first sentence you say that EE relates to K-12, is it only for K-12? I did like sections "How it is being used" and "Criticisms". Those two are not usual. I haven't seen many pages on different topics discussing downsides.

Overall, I enjoyed reading your article. I am not giving a lot of feedback because Yesoul and Tanu have written a lot already. However, let me know when you modify the page, I will gladly give you a new feedback. BauyrzhanBauyrzhanabuov (talk) 04:17, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
