Teacher Evaluation Training   
The primary goal of the educator evaluation and support system is to strengthen individual and collective practices to increase student learning, growth and achievement. To achieve this goal, the CSDE convened the Educator Evaluation and Support (EES) Council to reimagine CT’s educator evaluation and support system. The new system stream lines and transforms the process to focus on a continuous cycle of feedback and reflection, engaging educators and leaders in professional learning, growth and continuous improvement to positively impact learning, growth and success of the whole child. If you are an administrator who evaluates teachers select one of the six 3 day training to prepare for the 24-25shift when the new system will be implemented.
