Tip of the Hat to You, Teacher Evaluation of Me

Excellence in Education: All of you!

With the first term behind us, I’d like to start off by commending each of you for your excellent work with/for our students. SOL scores—by no means a measurement of your greatness—were superb! More importantly, as I looked over the index cards that you completed in August (where you answered why you became a teacher and how to better engage students), I can honestly say that many of you met your “goals.”

As we start the new term, I’d like for you to take a second to reflect on your first term. Take a look at the index cards (they’ll be in your boxes soon) and set a mini-goal for next term.

I’m proud of each you and consider myself lucky to work with such dedicated teachers.

Turning the Tables

No, that last line wasn’t just me sucking up, I truly believe it. But it’s that time of year where I ask you to evaluate me. The form is the same as it has been in past years. As always, it’s totally anonymous and 100% optional.
