As a teacher and educator how can I benefit from implementing EA? How can implementing EA help me as a system or school instructional leader?
Who should use EA?
All central office staff (Reviewers), school-based leaders (Evaluators), and teachers/educators (Evaluatees) are required to use EDUCATEAlabama (EA) annually. Adopted by the Alabama State Board of Education in May 2009, EA is Alabama’s formative system designed to provide information about an educator’s current level of practice within the Alabama Continuum for Teacher Development, which is based on the Alabama Quality Teaching Standards (AQTS), Alabama Administrative Code §290-3-3-.04.
Why ?
How are you going to grow and learn, so that you will inspire these students to do likewise?
What are the SDE’s plans for EDUCATEAlabama?
