Educator Evaluation

What is Educator Evaluation?

The evaluation and self-evaluation tools are to be used in tandem with the salary scale. With these tools, early childhood staff and program directors can assess a staff member's knowledge and competencies and then plan appropriate professional development opportunities.

Similar to the salary scale, the evaluation tools are based on the Ml ECE Professional Standards and Competencies and NAEYC's Professional Standards and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators.

Why is it valuable?

Understanding where an early childhood professional is in their development is an important step in creating a competent, and confident workforce. The evaluation tools can help a program director do just that. Not only will the evaluation tools offer feedback to staff about what they are doing well, but also where there is room to grow. For this reason, they can guide the development of professional development plans.
