Here are some important questions to consider as you lead your district forward to use teacher evaluation to continually improve teaching and learning.

• Have you established a  steering committee that includes central office leaders, principals and teachers?
• Have you determined the specific professional development needs for central office leaders, principals and teachers?
• Does your long- and short-term plan for implementation address the learning needs and human concerns of your staff and stakeholders?
• Are you executing an intentional communication plan for internal and external audiences that explains how instructional improvements will be enhanced by a common instructional framework and aligned evaluation tool?
