Citrus Teachers are Amazing

Citrus Teachers are Amazing

And now the state gave us the data to show it!

On Thursday the Florida Department of Education released a report which described that 97% of Citrus County public school teachers received a score on their evaluation of  “highly effective” or “effective”.  These teacher evaluation scores are part of the evaluation system being phased in from the controversial  new “Student Success Act” (a.k.a. SB736) where 50% of a teachers evaluation is determined by their students’ test scores.

While I have shared in the past that I am not a great supporter of this new state evaluation system and nor am I a fan of releasing teachers evaluations (click here to read my Blog, “Publishing Teacher Rankings”).  I do want to congratulate all our teachers for their exemplary work with our students and I believe this reports simply shows that Citrus public school teachers are doing an remarkable job during challenging times.
