A group of mathematicians and mathematics educators recently drafted a letter to Secretary of Education, Arnie Duncan, stating their stance on using student scores to evaluate teachers. In the letter, they argue that policies should support the mathematics teaching profession and that test-based accountability is likely to be destructive.
