NYSUT Backs Evaluation ‘Pause Button’

Nick Reisman

The president of the statewide teachers union on Thursday backed an agreement that would delay the impacts of Common Core testing on teacher evaluations, calling the move a “pause button.”

“We’re excited we’ve reached a tentative agreement,” Magee told reporters. “Teachers will now have the opportunity to be treated like the professionals they are.”

The agreement, along with a program bill introduced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo this afternoon, comes after the state budget agreed to delay aspects of the Common Core education standards for students.
