Evaluation Process, Certificated POLICY NO: 430

Evaluation Philosophy

A major reason for evaluation is to improve the teaching/learning process. Improving teacher competence and professional growth should be the ultimate goal in appraising staff performance. Other reasons for evaluation involve questions of continuing contract status, of promotion, of reassignment, and of separation.

Staff evaluation and appraisal should be a cooperative venture.
