A Long Island teacher has filed a lawsuit against the New York state education department, charging that the teacher-evaluation system is statistically flawed.
Sheri Lederman filed the suit after being rated “ineffective” on the portion of her rating tied to students’ test performance—a year after she got a “highly effective” score. She teaches 4th grade in the Great Neck district and has a doctorate in education. The lawsuit claims the evaluation system lacks a proper appeals process.
An education department spokesman said it doesn’t comment on litigation.
