USEP Seeks Feedback on
Teacher Evaluation Changes

USEP is surveying teachers who have received their first observation under the requirements of the “Student Success Act” (SB 736).

Despite the mandates of the law and DOE decree, there are areas that require extensive collective bargaining.  USEP and the District have been negotiating these key provisions and impacts of SB-736 since the summer! USEP has refused to be rushed since much is at stake for teachers.  However, the timelines have caused the District to begin implementation even as the evaluation process is being developed.  Please note, once an agreement is reached, all instructional personnel will vote whether or not to ratify.

Many of the process elements have been negotiated, yet there are several key elements unresolved.  Therefore, USEP is asking all teachers who have experienced an observation during the first observation cycle to use the link below to take the online survey.  USEP understands that many non-classroom teachers have not yet been observed and cannot weigh in on this survey.  USEP will seek input from them separately.

If you have experienced an initial formal observation and post conference, please click on the link and select the survey that applies to you.
