Phi Delta Kappa Releases Student Data Article

Phi Delta Kappa, the monthly magazine for Phi Delta Kappa, the international professional association in education, published an article by Dr. Joseph Martineau, Director of the Office of Assessment and Accountability for the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). In his article, Dr. Martineau uses an allegory to help illustrate the use of student data in educator evaluations.

In compliance with the recently-enacted state school reform law to use student achievement data for educator evaluations, the MDE is committed to making that system fair for teachers and administrators—using the first four years of data for the purpose of intense professional development.
