I know that in all the districts that I have worked as a substitute, new teachers (those without tenure) are evaluated three or four times a year for those first years before tenure is earned and at least once (usually more), thereafter. Typically, even tenured teachers are annually evaluated via observation at least once by their school principal and once by a district administrator of some sort. Is this not the norm? I don't understand why people have the idea that teachers are blithely going about their business with no oversight at all.thinkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-46766968105091984972011-02-18T06:16:58.182-08:002011-02-18T06:16:58.182-08:00Although this analysis is older than my cat Gilda,...Although this analysis is older than my cat Gilda, it does have some implications for today.
