Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well!

Marie raised an interesting question on the assessment list Thursday morning 
regarding teacher assessment/evaluation (see below). I'm also wondering, how 
do you see teacher evaluation folding into a professional development plan for 
teachers?  How might that plan dovetail into a program improvement plan, and 
where does all that begin?

Do programs in your area support teachers in developing a plan for their own 
professional development? If so, how is it done in your area? What are the 
issues or barriers programs face in supporting teachers for developing 
professional development plans?

Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you ~ Jackie

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you all.

I'm wondering this morning about how teachers might be
assessed/evaluated in your programs.  Do folks have structures or
procedures that allow teachers to identify their strengths and needs?
Do you have a process within the selection or hiring for this?  Do you
have a process to work with teachers in-service?  Who might be involved
in any such processes that you have in your programs?  What resources do
you use?  Do you feel like you don't have these structures in place, but
you would like to?

I think this might all be professional development in disguise ;)

Thanks!
