Last week, New York’s Education Department released the state’s teacher evaluation reports for the 2013-2014 school year. The results were released eight months earlier than expected as a clear political ploy to bolster Cuomo’s proposal to make 50% of teacher’s ratings be based on state test scores, which he announced last week on his state address. The data shows the percentage of teachers who got one of the four rating categories (highly effective, effective, developing, ineffective) in the new evaluation system.
These ratings are based on scores received by the teacher or principal in each of the three subcomponents (State Growth or Other Comparable Measures, Locally-Selected Measures, and Other Measures of Educator Effectiveness*). The results show more than 95% of teachers in the state are rated effective or highly effective, 4% are rated as developing; 1% percent as ineffective. Cuomo’s proposal to make these evaluations 50% based on student test scores

Why this is important now: From the silent generation to millennials, same-sex marriage is increasingly becoming more accepted nationwide. According to a Pew Research poll conducted in early 2014, in the silent generation there has been an 80% increase in acceptance while millennials have increased by 33% from 2001 to 2014. State-wise, there are only 13 states left that are not recognizing gay marriage. Currently, there are measures being taken by top-down activists against homosexuality within states that are even granted same-sex marriage the same rights as that of a heterosexual couple. For example, in a California state attorney, Matthew G. McLaughlin, recently filed a Sodomite Suppression Act against gays stating that they should be given the death penalty and put to death "by bullets to the head or by any other co

A nurse in New York has a new patient who is transitioning from male to female. They’ve never met someone who is transgender. On their first appointment she has mentioned the word abnormal and completely turned the patient off to medical expertise. She wants to understand what she did wrong but simple terms in a dictionary weren’t helping her understand a better way to approach a transgender client.
She instead decided to search an interactive dictionary to find not only what words about transgender people mean, but related terms, how offensive it might be and what context it should be used in. She found LGBTQLexicon and saw that in the shortcuts; “Transgender” was listed. After clicking she found MTF, FTM, two-spirit, transition, sex reassignment surgery, intersex, etc. She then went back to the homepage by clicking the search button on the bottom right. She wanted to search the word normal. She found that using the word abnormality is not only medically incorrect but it’s harmful to her clients.
