Don’t bother with evaluation?

Colleagues,

MVP: The teacher evaluation process is broken, so don’t pretend it isn’t.

This week’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast came out late, but I think it was worth the wait. 

In it, I answer a question about how a new school administrator can evaluate veteran teachers.

Short answer: Unless you are planning to fire someone, the teacher evaluation process is counterproductive because it is divorced from any meaningful work related to teacher professional development.

If you are a teacher who has ever been formally evaluated, I dare you to disagree with me.

This thesis holds for most organizations in any sector.

If I have piqued your interest, listen to the episode!

Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode.


Cheers!

Frederick
