Our current system of evaluation includes two ratings for educators – “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory.” Statewide, the results show that 99.4% of all teachers and 99.2% of all principals, who were evaluated during the 2009-2010 school year, received a “satisfactory” rating. Despite these results, student growth on national assessments has been relatively stagnant.
-Ronald Tomalis, former Secretary of Education before the House Education Committee
