Does Evaluation Matter? What would this analysis look like in North Carolina? How do you think teachers respond to lower ratings on their evaluations? Standards 3 and 4 have the highest correlation with growth scores. What does growth look like for teachers across the ratings of these standards? How does SY 2011-12 differ from SY 2012-13?
