[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers are evaluated in MCPS by administration in their school.  Here is a link to evaluation results by school for 2011-2012: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/about/strategicplan/evaluationdatabylocation.pdf[/quote]

but how the results are obtained? student grades? attendance?[/quote]

Evaluation does not depend on student grades or attendance.
There are 2 announced (pre-evaluation/evaluation/post evaluation) and many unannounced visits to the classroom years 1,2,3,5 and every 4 years after that.

Some principals ask for an outside evalution (usually a retired MCPS principal). Teachers have to meet 6 categories or else they will be put on PAR (peer assessment review).
Evaluations can be quite subjective.
In my current school there were 2 teachers who were going to be put on PAR, and I believe rightfully so; but then we got another principal and now they are on the new principal's favorite teachers list ...
So if you have teachers you really like and think they are doing a fantastic job, please write letters on their behalf. It's the best gift you can give them, especially if they are being harrassed by administration, which you may not know.[/quote]
