Growth and Evaluation for Teachers and Other Professionals

Published: 8/2/2022 3:59 AM

District certified evaluation plans should reflect and support Kentucky’s commitment of every student being taught by an effective educator. Local plans should be designed to promote professional growth and to be equitable systems that measure the effectiveness of educators through the:

Engagement in formative discussions with leadership about progress and summative evaluations that determine effectiveness
Application of professional learning designs aligned to the Professional Learning Standards
Promotion of self-directed growth in educators and career pathways for teacher leaders that lead to an improvement in all educators’ overall job performances

The Office of Educator Licensure and Effectiveness (OELE) is committed to providing support for improving educator effectiveness in schools and districts across Kentucky. We provide:

relevant research
best practice guides and models
technical assistance
professional learning

OELE also publishes the Educator Development newsletter of articles and announcements that highlight Kentucky educators engaging in relevant and innovative distributed leadership models, planning for equitable access, and pursuing effective professional learning and instructional and assessment practices of interest to all Kentucky educators.
