Abstract	The authors detail their summer long pointed discussion with the Obama Administration--via an exchange of letters and telephone conversations--over initiatives in New York and other states that tie the evaluations of teachers and principals to student performance on standardized tests. The authors assert such initiatives should await further testing before being deployed and wreaking potential damage on teacher careers and student learning. In the meanwhile, they say, policy leaders should employ and fund already proven methods. (As Provided).
