This appeal, to be decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, challenges two egregious misuses of "value-added modeling," a controversial teacher evaluation method that attempts to isolate the affect of one teacher on the learning gains of that teacher's students, as derived from annual standardized test scores. With the approval of the State Appellees, the School District Appellees used the test scores of students who took the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test in reading and math to evaluate the teaching performance of teachers who either did not teach these students at all, or did not teach …
A Common Law Constitutionalism For The Right To Education, Scott R. Bauries
A Common Law Constitutionalism For The Right To Education, Scott R. Bauries
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This Article makes two claims, one descriptive and the other normative.

Individual Academic Freedom: An Ordinary Concern Of The First Amendment, Scott R. Bauries
Individual Academic Freedom: An Ordinary Concern Of The First Amendment, Scott R. Bauries
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Our Nation is deeply committed to safeguarding academic freedom, which is of transcendent value to all of us, and not merely to the teachers concerned. That freedom is therefore a special concern of the First Amendment, which does not tolerate laws that cast a pall of orthodoxy over the classroom.
There is some argument that expression related to academic scholarship or classroom instruction implicates additional constitutional interests that are not fully accounted for by this Court's customary employee-speech jurisprudence. We need not, and for that reason do not, decide whether the analysis we conduct today would apply in the same …
