Professional contribution to our field of education in CT.
The primary goal of the educator evaluation and support system is to strengthen individual and collective practices to increase student learning, growth and achievement. To achieve this goal, the CSDE convened the Educator Evaluation and Support (EES) Council to reimagine CT’s educator evaluation and support system. The new system streamlines and transforms the process to focus on a continuous cycle of feedback and reflection, engaging educators and leaders in professional learning, growth and continuous improvement to positively impact learning, growth and success of the whole child.
