Evaluation Summit

The Utah State Office of Education Evaluation Summit brought in experts on evaluation from around the area and country.  The keynote speaker made it quite clear that evaluations were not to "fire teachers", but to help identify those who need help and prescribe the support needed.

Annette Brinkman, Granite District, presented their support for teachers and principals they use in their district.
