Guiding Principles • Current evaluations are “perfunctory, subjective, and do not result in better teaching and learning • Students and teachers deserve more! • Should have evaluation system that recognizes and rewards teachers as professionals • Effectiveness should be measured to ensure we have the best teachers in the classroom • Evaluations should be based on multiple measures – not a single test or yearly observation • Timely feedback and high-quality pd are essential to helping educator improve • Tenure and other forms of recognition should be based on effectiveness not time served
