Rep. O'Brien bill eases annual teacher evaluation rule
|
The Rhode Island teacher evaluation system requires principals in the schools to evaluate every teacher every year, and it is expected that each of those evaluations cover a period of about 15 hours. Rep. William W. O’Brien, himself an educator, thinks that requirement is excessive and foists an enormous amount of work on a school principal, who has many other time-consuming responsibilities. To help ease the process, he has introduced legislation that will establish a sliding scale, of sorts, for the evaluations.

He has again introduced legisaltion to increase the threshold above which the tax can be applied to $2 million.
