Teacher Evaluation Data Now Available Online

Tallahassee, Fla., December 3, 2014 – The Florida Department of Education has posted preliminary results of the 2013-14 district personnel evaluations online. In January, once more complete data are provided by school districts, the Department will post an updated report.

Commissioner Pam Stewart said, “I want to thank all of the dedicated teachers and administrators around the state who are helping prepare Florida's students for successful futures. Evaluations are just one of the many tools we have to analyze teacher performance, and I'm proud that the majority of our teachers scored so well. There's no doubt that some of our school districts still need improvement and we should not have any failing schools. This is why we're continuing to examine many factors that affect student outcomes, including our assessments.”

Evaluation results are assigned by districts to teachers, non-classroom personnel and school administrators, based on the district's approved evaluation system. During the first week of August, DOE provided each school district with student growth results. The districts then applied locally established cut points, which were combined with Instructional Practice Score data, and incorporated student learning growth data from local assessments where appropriate, resulting in each individual's annual evaluation.
