I was scanning the education headlines from around the state this morning and this one from the Tyler Morning Telegraph leaped out at me: "Legislators Look To Fix Appraisal System." My heart jumped. More messing with appraisals? What now?
Then I clicked on the article and it turns out this has nothing to do with teacher performance appraisals. Just goes to show how focussed I am on the teacher's viewpoint. Legislators are looking into property tax appraisals.
But it all led me to think this: Do teachers think that performance appraisals need fixing? Tell me what you think of the system we have now. Is it working? Why or why not? Do you trust it?
Legislators could be looking at teacher appraisals. So post a comment and let me know if we need to ask them to do just that.

I guess they're okay. I'm never going to like being evaluated, but this is better than some others in the past.

If your appraiser is your bully boss then your appraisal is not a valid statement of your work so much as it is a valid statement of how much your boss wants to tear you down.

This is a welcome sight. I love the idea of a truck serving healthy food along with vegan entrees. I must see this one.

This looks delicious. I'm going to have to file this one away for myself!
