SURVEY RESULTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!

Thanks to all of the North Carolina Educators who took the time to complete the 2008 North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey.  The results are now available at www.ncteachingconditions.org.

The Commission is pleased to provide access to the new evaluation instruments for both teachers and principals.  Both instruments have been approved by the NC State Board of Education. 

Effective with the 2008-09 school year, teachers in North Carolina will be evaluated annually using the North Carolina Teacher Evaluation Rubric.  Thirteen school districts will implement the new evaluation system beginning in the 2008-2009 academic year.  Half of the remaining districts will implement the new system beginning in 2009-2010, and the remainder will implement it in 2010-2011.  Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, all teachers in North Carolina will be evaluated using the new system.

Effective with the 2008-09 school year, school executives: principals are to be evaluated annually using the North Carolina School Executive Evaluation Rubric. As part of the annual evaluation, a mid-year review is to be conducted.
