Observations

All teaching staff will use the new North Carolina Teacher Evaluation Instrument. This is a totally new method of teacher assessment and is predicated on growth and development. Training will be offered for all individuals who will be assessed with this instrument on Tuesday, August 18. All individuals will have four observations this year, three by an administrator and one by a peer. This will be followed by a summative conference. This year Professional Development Plans (PDP) will be used with all teachers. They will be linked specifically to the evaluation process.
