    Parent speaking. I'm in the business world so I'm slightly taken aback some
    of the comments that show up on teachers evaluations. In the business world
    (or at least at places where people really want to make a difference with
    people), there's alot of movement in trying to make evaluations mean
    something...about how to help people grow. One of the facets is for 360
    degree evaluations...supervisor evaluates you, you evaluate supervisor, much
    talk about picking one or two areas to improve on in the coming year. Has
    anyone every had a chance to evaluate their principal/administration?

    During my last evaluation my elementary principal marked me down on two
    things: 1) I don't allow the kids time to "practice" (we spend 2-3 class
    periods practice drawing before we draw the final product) and 2) sometimes
    she doesn't understand what I'm talking about so she wonders if the kids do.
    I asked for a "for instance" , so I'd know what to watch for, and she
    couldn't even give me an example. On a good note, I was praised for having
    my classroom rules posted on my cart. What's funny about this is that my
    evaluation was last month and I took the rules off my cart the second week
    of school because they kept falling off. I don't think I can develop
    professionally with evaluations like these. My high school administrator is
    great tho' - he's in and out of the classroom all year, so when he comes in
    to evaluate me he always has really good pointers.
