Full Description

On May 4, 2017, a U.S. federal judge advanced teachers’ claims that the Houston Independent School District’s use of algorithmic teacher evaluations violated their due process rights to their jobs. The Houston ISD contracted with SAS Institute in 2011 to use their Educational Value-Added Assessment System to evaluate teacher performance. SAS does not allow teachers to review the calculations made by their proprietary algorithms, which, in the opinion of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, violates the teachers’ right to independently review the cause of their termination. Houston ISD ended its contract with SAS in 2016.

Variantes

Una "Variante" es un incidente que comparte los mismos factores causales, produce daños similares e involucra los mismos sistemas inteligentes que un incidente de IA conocido. En lugar de indexar las variantes como incidentes completamente separados, enumeramos las variaciones de los incidentes bajo el primer incidente similar enviado a la base de datos. A diferencia de otros tipos de envío a la base de datos de incidentes, no se requiere que las variantes tengan informes como evidencia externa a la base de datos de incidentes.
