New HISD Superintendent Mike Miles offers new details on staffing model for struggling schools
mostly Black and brown neighborhoods after meeting with staff members at North Forest High School.
Miles reiterated his pledge that any teacher, librarian, counselor, principal or assistant principal who is not rehired at their current school will be given a similar job with the same salary at another campus, as long as they were under contract with the district for the upcoming school year. Under Miles’ “hospital model,” teachers at those 29 schools would make an average of $85,000, in addition to a $10,000 stipend, while teacher apprentices and learning coaches would make less, assisting with prep work and stepping in to fill vacancies as needed. Those positions would be filled by “teachers or people who want to be teachers, working on their certification.
Where the evaluations differ is that 10 percent of a teacher’s appraisal will come from student surveys for children in third grade and higher, and another 10 percent from the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System Rubric, or T-TESS. The final 20% of a principal’s evaluation will come from special education improvement.
“Performance pay demeans students and undermines teachers, so if the focus is on pay for performance, you’re incentivizing the test-and-punishment model,” Anderson said. Both organizations were criticized by local education activist Ruth Kravetz, co-founder of Community Voices for Public Education, for being “largely pro-charter pro-using standardized testing as the primary means for determining student success.”
