Implementing Student Learning-Based Educator Evaluation Systems in Colorado
Opportunities, Challenges and Lessons from Phase I of a Pilot Project in Adams 12
Colorado’s new educator evaluation system provides remarkable opportunities and complex challenges for school districts. This report reflects the initial considerations facing a metro Denver-area school district as district leaders embarked on the process of designing and piloting a new system. It is our hope that the report will benefit other districts undertaking the process of transitioning into an educator evaluation system that focuses on student learning and educator effectiveness.
This report was funded by the Public Education & Business Coalition and the Adams 12 Five-Star School District, and written by Kelly Hupfeld of the Center for Education Policy Analysis at the School of Public Affairs, University of Colorado Denver.
