7 Common Themes - Feedback from Additional Comments MAJOR THEMES Timeline Non-Tested Subjects Multiple buildings Common Core/PARCC Principal evaluation Measuring student growth Training Funding COMMENT SAMPLES Timelines need to be revised it seems we are building the plane as we are flying. This all, including training needs to be in place prior to any evaluations begin. How will student achievement growth be measured in classes like music, art, and P.E.? I work for a cooperative with coordinators evaluating me. How can they be evaluated if they are working at several schools? Will the common core PARCC test be part of the student growth? Principal evaluations need completely different criteria like teacher morale and culture/climate of the school. Students deemed at risk by a district, will their student growth be determined the same as regular education students? Is a rubric going to be developed to opt out of the training? What funding will be provided to assist with professional development, assessment, additional administrative staff that will be needed to carry this out? 509
