Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy is calling for the state\u2019s teacher tenure laws to be completely overhauled.\u00a0 He has proposed that teacher tenure should be linked to student performance and teacher evaluations, and that the new law apply to new and veteran teachers alike.<\/p>\n

Malloy claims the time has come for bold action: \u201cI\u2019m a Democrat.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been told that I can\u2019t, or shouldn\u2019t, touch teacher tenure\u2026I do what I think is right for Connecticut, irrespective of the political consequences.\u201d\u00a0 His plan would give tenure to teachers after two and a half years of teaching only<\/em> if they have exemplary grades on two teacher evaluations based largely on student achievement.\u00a0 Teachers may also earn tenure after four years with three \u201cproficient\u201d evaluations.<\/p>\n

Teachers who do not meet these standards will be deemed ineffective, and given a one-year probation to improve.\u00a0 The standard will also apply to teachers who already have tenure.\u00a0 In order to keep tenure, teachers must continue to show they are effective in the classroom.<\/p>\n

However, Mary Loftus Levine of the Connecticut Teacher Association believes that the governor is acting on a mistaken understanding of tenure practices.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s not a job for life, and it\u2019s not just earned by showing up,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cYou are constantly evaluated.\u201d\u00a0 For those who are not meeting the standard expected of a tenure teacher, principals \u201ccounsel them out of the profession.\u201d\u00a0 However, Patrick Riccards from ConnCAN, a school reform group, local school leaders cannot dismiss or require training for these teachers\u2014they cannot be forced out without a long, drawn out struggle.<\/p>\n

If the state legislature approves the tenure overhaul, it will join 19 other states that allow teachers to be dismissed based on evaluations, according to the National Council of Teacher Quality.\u00a0 Riccards believes up to 15% of teachers will be flagged as needing improvement, but only those who do not improve through training will be let go.<\/p>\n

The reaction from the education community has been mixed.\u00a0 The Connecticut Educators Association has said they need to see the full details of the governor\u2019s plan before they can determine whether to support it.\u00a0 They have their own plan, recommending that the time it takes to dismiss a non-tenured teacher be reduced, but that the default tenure after four years of teaching should remain in place.\u00a0 Conversely, Acting Superintendent for Bridgeport schools, Paul Vallas, has publicly supported the governor\u2019s proposal.\u00a0 \u201cAnything that brings greater accountability to the profession is a positive step.\u201d<\/p>\n
