3 Better Alternatives to “Gotcha” Tactics for Teachers

Via eSchool News, “I have been in school administration for 12 years now, and one of the things that I absolutely have learned to hate is the formal teacher evaluation process.

The whole procedure was ridiculous to the point that I always dreaded it.”

– Kathryn Procope, Head of School at Howard University Middle School in Washington, DC.
