" What would happen if we flipped this model on its head? What if instead we created a teacher-centered, always-on, and social approach to teacher improvement?

Campbell's law is an adage developed by Donald T. Campbell:[1]
"The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
