A Career and Technical Education Teacher Evaluation Process
A CTE-specific teacher evaluation process.
Description
This course reflects information and guidance from many giants in the professional development movement including the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Charlotte Danielson’s Enhancing Professional Teaching Practice, authors like Joyce, Showers, Sparks, Hirsh, Fogarty, Pete, and my own research, experience, and article writing. As professional development moved from individual focus to a more synergistic approach, I believe it is imperative that our teacher assessments and evaluations be discipline centered and focused, and move away from a one size fits all approach. A Spanish teacher, an English teacher, and a Career and Technical teacher, all, who in the end serve the same purpose of effective pedagogy, have unique curricula and should have unique teaching strategies and approaches that align with what they teach, and to whom they are teaching. In that same spirit, as well as being CTE specific, also considered is where these CTE teachers teach along with the goals, aspirations, and strategic planning, adopted by local stakeholders. It should not only be CTE- specific but school- specific as well. It is the focus of this course then, to help school leaders effectively evaluate their teaching staff, and to help teachers, as masters of their own assessment, evaluate themselves with a process that is flexible, evolving, and comprehensive.
