New era of teacher evaluations commences in Florida
MANATEE, Fla.—About 70 percent of Principal Doug DuPouy’s teachers at Orange Ridge/Bullock Elementary School spent an entire year in the classroom without being formally observed by an administrator.
Now, that’s changed.
Starting this year, DuPouy or Assistant Principal Greg Sanders, will formally observe each teacher in his or her classroom at least once a year, all as part of Manatee County School District’s revamped teacher-evaluation system.
