s you walked into algebra last year, you may have been surprised to find an extra i'student in the desk behind you. 0 What Mr. Andress, Mr. Booe or Mr. Havens were doing was evaluating your beloved teacher. When they spent a class period sizing up instructors, they were ex- pected to note every occurrence during the class hour. Their homework then was to transcribe the notes to an evaluation sheet on which scores were added and figured. 0 The new evaluation instrument served as both an appraisal and a merit system for all public school teachers across the state. Teachers' evaluations determined their rights to be re-hired as well as their positions on the career lad- der. 0 That career ladder was a merit sys- tem instituted by HB 72 which set up four levels of pay based on proficiency stan- dards. syste all three principals attended a five Sue up on Iish skills iods. 'xt-45 Make Grade excellent ciasses a bunch of good teachers at Coronado -- Mickey Andress mer. Teachers were graded on some 71 areas of performance. Evaluators, corn monly labeled as less-threatening ap praisers, watched for anything from in- structional strategies to leaming environ- ments. Teachers received AfBE for Ab- sentflielow Expectation, SE for Standard Expectation and EQ for Exceptional Quai- - lf a teachers evaluation was below standard, a conference with the principal was required. ' Teachers received four formal visita- tions of 45 minutes each during the school year: two visits came from the prin- cipal and two from another appraiser - either a second principal or else the teachers supervisor from central office. The primary evaluations counted 60 pei cent, while secondary ones counted 40 percent toward overall scores. ' So when your teacher was more fid- gety than usual and tension was in the air, just remember that his report card was in the making. v To prepare for the new evaluation m . .
