New guidelines for teacher evaluations

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012


Illinois educators will be tested on a new set of guidelines in the coming months. “This is cutting edge reform. Illinois is leading the entire nation on this education reform. There’s a lot of eyes on it. I think everyone, whether they’re a teacher, administrator or parent wants the best teachers in front of their kids,” Quincy School Superintendent Lonny Lemon said. The performance-based evaluations will take effect in the Quincy School District in March. It includes guidelines passed in the General Assembly last year. Staying in the classroom will then depend on the teacher’s performance, not how long her or she has taught there.
