Teacher Evaluation

UTLA Teacher Evaluation Workgroup

UTLA Teacher Evaluation Workgroup
In August 2010, UTLA formed a teacher effectiveness workgroup to develop a set of recommendations on teacher evaluation. LAUSD teachers have long been critical of the current teacher evaluation system that seldom provides meaningful feedback on the quality of their teaching. In recent months, of course, teacher evaluation has taken center stage in the school reform debates.
