MD has accepted the money and is phasing in the new teacher evaluation model based on Framework For Teaching . As I teach non-tested electives my evaluations are going to be based on how nice my bulletin boards look, whether I am displaying current student work with a minimum of two comments on each exemplar, if I have my objectives written in the correct way, if my mandated College Corner reflects the student body, among one or two other extremely important metrics that have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not my students are succeeding.
