Kerre McIvor: How do you decide who is the best teacher?

I know the argument for paying teachers on performance has been around for years - ever since I've been hosting a talkback show. But its been around for even longer than that. An article in the Harvard School of Education said that, as early as 1710 said that in England, teachers were paid based on their students' test scores in reading, writing, and arithmetic.But problems with this approach quickly became apparent, the author wrote. The curriculum narrowed as arts and science classes were no

Well, we were right to be waiting in anticipation. In Grant Robertson's first budget unfettered by New Zealand First, he delivered a true Labour budget, with money for beneficiaries and students, money for Kiwi Rail, more money in the coffers for Pharmac and $1.1 billion in initiatives for Māori and reinstating training allowances for single parents, yep, it had it all. This was a budget that should have been printed in red ink. The Finance Minister has defended his budget and says he's tried to

Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has lambasted the BBC for contributing "significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation" felt by his late mother, Princess Diana, in the years before her death, in a rare emotionally charged statement by a royal against the public broadcaster.The Duke's comments come after the BBC offered an unconditional apology over the controversial 1995 interview by BBC journalist Martin Bashir with Diana, in which she detailed the breakdown of her relationship with

Greens MP Julie Anne Genter wants this government to spend like there’s no tomorrow. She reckons this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to borrow cheap money and invest in climate change technology and reducing child poverty, and tackle the really big issues that governments have been too politically chary of to invest in. The argument seems to be, that in the midst of a pandemic, we can reset the world and create a New Zealand that is a Utopian paradise. Andrew Kelleher on the other hand, said on

The Auditor General has taken a proactive approach to New Zealand's vaccination rollout, and taken a long hard look at whether the health sector could meet the government's goal of vaccinating as many people as possible over the age of 16 by the end of the year. And in news that won't surprise you, the Auditor General has found the process wanting. There was some good early progress, in that at the time of the audit; nearly 400 thousand doses had been administered. But John Ryan, the Auditor

In an ideal world, every New Zealander who could be employed would be employed. He, she or they would skip off to work, a spring in their step and a song in their heart, happy in the knowledge that they were well remunerated for the job they were about to do, and knowing that should they wish to move up the corporate ladder, say from caregiver to rest home manager, there was a clear path there for the aspirational worker. But that's not what happens.There are some jobs Kiwis won't do and so

She might not believe the numbers. She might claim that no-one in her party is out to roll her. But National party leader Judith Collins would not have enjoyed hearing the results of the latest Newshub-Reid Research Poll that shows her falling even further in popularity. The latest poll shows Jacinda Arden streets ahead in the preferred PM stakes at 48.1 per cent, although she is down 4.5 percentage points, Judith Collins was at 5.6 percent, down 12 percentage points.

In the wake of the Dunedin Countdown stabbings, there are stories of tremendous courage on the part of the store manager and bystanders who are now in hospital recovering from their injuries.

The Government is hitting gangs where it hurts their pockets.It's amending the Criminal Proceeds Act to allow seizure of assets of people associated with organised crime – for items they couldn't afford with their legal income.Police Association President Chris Cahill told Kerre McIvor this is a positive move for Police - and they could do it with more of their possessions.

Well there's a funny old thing. Last week, I received a text from someone saying that we needed to be aware that Māori were being appointed to conservation councils replacing elected councillors and that this was being done without any consultation. I'm pretty sure I read it out - it was a big week and maybe I thought I just did - but we did pass it on to our news room. And then what do you know, on Sunday the National Party releases a document that shows the body tasked with reviewing conservation

The Police Association have slammed the government's public sector pay freeze as an unacceptable bombshell, and I couldn't have put it better myself. Bombshell is right. Had we been warned that New Zealand was facing a period of belt tightening in the wake of Covid, had we been advised that we must all be prepared for a time of austerity as we pay back the awful cost of lockdowns, had the government not been handing out money hand over fist including 25 dollars extra per week to beneficiaries,

The Speaker of the House needs to go. He has continued a vendetta against a former staffer, a man he labelled as a rapist - a claim that cost taxpayers more than $330,000. We paid Mallard's $175,000 legal fees, this is a man who earns $296,000 per year plus expenses and who has been paid by the taxpayer since he was MP for Hamilton West since 1984. You'd think he'd have enough stashed away to cover his own legal bills, but there we go. We also paid a $158,000 ex-gratia payment to the former staffer
