Beyond Teacher Evaluations


Listen Later

A California school district in a high-poverty community sets out to revamp its teacher evaluation system… and finds itself going much further, exploring new ways to promote teacher leadership and spark deep conversations about teaching and learning.

Robla School District in Sacramento, California set out to re-examine how they conducted teacher evaluations. Their existing process wasn’t helpful at promoting in-depth conversations that would help teachers grow. So they formed a design team of teachers and administrators to solve the problem together.

In this interview with Superintendent Ruben Reyes and peer facilitator Crystal Saladin, we asked:

  • How they worked collaboratively, and sought input from the teachers union and individual teachers themselves
  • About their work with the Resourcing Excellence in Education Center at UC Davis, and the nuts and bolts of how they have meaningful conversations about teaching with their teaching staff
  • What impact this work has had on teacher leadership in the district
  • Field Trip is a podcast from Frontline Education.
