Teacher Evaluations
This week we will be reaching out to schedule initial meetings, sending courses of study and the initial eval paperwork, on which you set your goals for the year. Staff can elect to apply to get evaluated on a 5 year cycle if:
- They have worked for MDUSD for 10 years
- If the last evaluation had Meets Expectations for all categories
- If the last evaluation was within the last 5 years
If you would like to apply for the 5 year cycle, please complete the application and return it to your assigned evaluator.
It has been confirmed with Personnel that staff may also elect to do a self-study. For information, please see the MDEA contract pages 67-68.
