A “satisfactory” evaluation never did much for seventh-grade teacher Susan Cox.
In her 21 years teaching kids, she’s earned a national board certification and a master’s degree. She’s taken on new projects and district initiatives. She’s hoping the new evaluation system Wenatchee School District plans to pilot next year will become the next step up in her teaching.
“I can’t remember how many years I’ve been on a short (evaluation) form,” Cox said. “I’m observed once and that’s it. But this is going to be very different.”
