In 2012, the State Board of Education & Early Development adopted new educator evaluation regulations. The new guidelines require educators to be evaluated through observations and input from students and parents. Evaluation should identify educators’ strengths and weaknesses and support educators' efforts to improve instruction and to grow professionally. Beginning in the 2015-2016 school year, districts have the option for teachers and administrators to be evaluated using student learning data.
