Teacher Evaluation Tool
Upcoming
I plan to work with the Teacher Evaluation
committee to ensure we make changes to
the system that puts us in compliance with
the new legislation.
I will also be looking to put together a group
to work on the administrator evaluation tool.
I believe that we are in good shape given the
work that has already been done.
