Teacher Responds to PED Evaluation
I am a fifth grade general educator in Albuquerque and I recently completed my third year. At the end of this past year, I was given my evaluation results on, what I have deemed the “Worst Day of My Life”. I was given a score of “Minimally Effective”. I did not earn this score. I know in my heart, and without a doubt, that I am a “Highly Effective” teacher. I receive high marks on every observation, my students scored higher than all other fifth graders (at my school) during my second year, and I always give 150% to ensure my students receive the best education possible. Then why did I receive “Minimally Effective”, you ask? Ask Hanna and Susanna. Oh wait, they can’t give you a straight answer…
