College Summer Camp For High School Student

It is no secret that Washington, D.C. schools are not performing at a high level with only 9% of students proficient in some areas. In spite of these dismal results, 95% of the teachers received good performance evaluations in the past. School Chancellor Michelle Rhee has constructed a new evaluation tool and 737 teachers received notices for 2010-2011 because they were rated minimally effective. They have one year to improve or they will be terminated, as well.

Rhee Dismisses Ineffective Teachers

Washington, D.C. holds one of the lowest success rates of any school district in the USA. Michelle Rhee has taken on the challenge to have superior teachers in her district. In an attempt to improve the DC schools, Michelle Rhee dismissed 241 teachers – some were not certified as teachers. 76 teachers were dismissed for other reasons than poor evaluations. The city has 4,000 teachers so Rhee’s firings affect 4% of teachers. "Every child in a District of Columbia public school has a right to a highly effective teacher – in every classroom, of every school, of every neighborhood, of every ward, in this City. That is our commitment. Today we take another step toward making that commitment a reality," says Rhee. [1]

Mayor Adrian M. Fenty is Rhee’s supervisor, strong supporter and says, "As Mayor, I will not sit still, and I will not be satisfied until a highly effective teacher is in every classroom. Today’s action puts us one step closer to that goal." [1]
