The Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
Educator Evaluation: Overview, Progress Report, and Key Issues
The special meeting on Educator Evaluation on May 23 is intended to provide an opportunity for Board of Elementary and Secondary Education members to hear a progress report on the implementation of the Commonwealth's educator evaluation framework by engaging with policy makers, researchers, and practitioners. The Department will present a brief overview of the educator evaluation system that the Board adopted in 2011. We will then hear from two panels, one offering national, statewide and research perspectives and the other offering perspectives from district and school practitioners. Board members will have time to engage with the panelists, Department staff, and each other on the accomplishments and challenges of implementing the Massachusetts educator evaluation framework.
