Unionized teachers at the Shrewsbury Colleges Group staged a two day walkout. Members went on strike in response to the way the colleges group intends to assess lessons. Management intends to combine two lesson assessment policies, where teachers are observed and then graded on a scale from one to four. This assessment plan was rejected by the union because members felt it was “subjective and unreliable.” As of now, another strike is planned for the beginning of May.
