Looking Ahead: Teacher Evaluation
Teacher Evaluation systems are set to be in place this upcoming Fall. Whether you're using a model created by Danielson, Marzano, the MN Department of Education, or your local school district, the questions I'm hearing are largely related to measuring student growth.
MMEA has put together a task force of teachers that are trying to help! We are also trying to be a voice for music educators with the MN Department of Education.
We are collecting tools and resources that may be of use to you. Visit here:

Help your fellow music educators and consider sharing something you've developed (or are even in the process of developing!). Documents to share and questions/comments regarding teacher evaluation can be sent to the following address:
assessments@mmea.org
