Because of the additional teachers hired to reduce class size across the state in the primary grades to twenty, there is a statewide shortage of substitutes. A total of 95 classroom teachers and 8 resource teachers are employed at Vallejo High School. The majority of teachers have full Credentials and have assigned to teach courses that are within major and minor area's of preparation. All teachers with emergency credentials are entrolled in teacher credentialing programs. Teacher Evaluation Under district policy, tenured teachers are evaluated every two years and probationary teachers are evaluated each year.
Administrators participate in training programs to refine their skills in supervision.
The primary purpose of teacher evaluation is to improve the instructional process and the educational services provided to students. Each year approximately sixty certificated teachers are evaluated at Vallejo High School. Curriculum Improvement Professional development is vital to our goal of ensuring that all students reach high academics standards. The District recently developed a comprehensive professional development plan, which is based on the essential features of strong professional development growth.
