Court refuses to mandate use of test scores in teacher evaluations

A judge in Northern California dealt a blow this week to a controversial campaign to make teachers more accountable for their students’ level of achievement, the second key setback in recent months for those behind the effort.

The ruling by Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Barry Goode went against the Bay Area group Students Matter. The group’s lawsuit aimed to force 13 school districts, including seven in Southern California, to make student standardized test scores a key part of teacher evaluations.

Students Matter had hoped to build on a 2012 ruling against the Los Angeles Unified School District, which led to a settlement under which test scores were supposed to become part of teacher evaluations.
