Overview: The Westminster Teacher Evaluation Committee developed a prototype of a teacher evaluation tool and process that we have been piloting this school year for teachers selected to help us test the tool. The purpose of this survey is to help inform the Committee about what aspects of the tool and process are working and what areas still need improvement.

Instructions: The survey refers to the observation tools, so it would be helpful if you printed these documents out while you took this survey. It should be attached to the email you received about taking this survey.
