Agree, but how do you judge performance?

It's definitely not through the standardized tests such as LEAP. You can get good at preparing kids for those, but they really don't have any relationship to well taught classes. I'm not sure who puts them together (I think it's one of or some combination of bureaucrats in BR, for pay testing companies or committees of moonlighting teachers) but they are very poorly conceived and constructed in my opinion and generally take weeks out of instructional time to administer.
