Principals evaluate teachers for the purpose of improving instruction.
There is a well-planned and systematic program in place for teacher evaluation. Principals and nonteaching staff are evaluated annually. Nontenured teachers are evaluated every year. Typical evaluation areas include teaching methods, learning environment, use of District-adopted programs, classroom management, and teacher professional development plans. The District offers professional improvement opportunities to all staff each year.
