Happy April Fool's Day! This episode is all about teacher evaluation systems. Chelsea shares about the history of No Child Left Behind and its evolution into the Every Student Succeeds Act, both of which place focus on teacher evaluations. Katie shares what evaluation cycles look like in Ohio and provides Chelsea handouts of data used to assign her rating each year. Your hosts share what they learned this week, including making a delicious meal and being reminded that the Suez Canal exists and is very important to our economy. The good news? The boat is free!
