Effective evaluation is an integral component in the process of improving teaching and learning.   The two purposes of the teacher evaluation process are:  (a) accountability and quality assurance  (b) professional growth.  The evaluation and supervision of certified personnel is to promote ongoing professional growth and performance which improves student learning.  It is the belief that the evaluative process should be a collaborative effort between the evaluators and the person being evaluated. It is suggested that each teacher develop an Annual Professional Goal.
