The Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has developed a new teacher evaluation system that focuses on thee components: Professional Practice, Professional Responsibilities, and Student Learning.
The system will be gradually introduced statewide during the 2011-2012 school year. School-based administrators and teachers in all districts that have adopted the Rhode Island Model Educator Evaluation System will participate in each element of the evaluation process, at varying levels, during this first year of implementation in an effort designed to help everyone feel comfortable with the process. Central office administrators and school support personnel will participate in the evaluation process in 2012-2013. In most cases, teachers will be evaluated by their school principal. On occasion, they may be evaluated by a trained evaluator with relevant content knowledge or instructional expertise. School-based administrators will be evaluated by superintendents or their designees.
