Teacher Evaluation
The percent of teachers evaluated as excellent or proficient by an administrator or other evaluator trained in performance evaluations. Learn More
In 2010, the Illinois Performance Evaluation Reform Act was signed into law and required schools to design and implement performance evaluation systems that assess teachers’ professional skills as well as incorporate measures of student growth. These evaluation systems must rate teachers in one of four performance categories: excellent, proficient, needs improvement or unsatisfactory.
Teachers without tenure must be evaluated every year. Teachers with tenure must be evaluated every 2 years unless they are rated needs improvement or unsatisfactory and then they will be evaluated the following year after additional requirements are met.
