This initiative focuses on overhauling teacher and principal evaluations in line with Race to the Top and ESSB 5895. Key principles emphasize quality teaching and leadership, enhanced professional learning, and continuous career development. Significant changes include new criteria, rubrics, and a greater emphasis on student achievement. A joint workgroup, using the Danielson evaluation tool, aims to develop and present an implementation calendar to the school board. This reform seeks to build a robust, evidence-driven evaluation system that benefits all educators.
