Bill > HB05891

This bill proposes revisions to Connecticut's educator evaluation guidelines by establishing a tiered evaluation system for teachers. Specifically, the bill would modify the existing evaluation process so that teachers who are rated as "proficient" or "exemplary" would not be required to undergo formal annual evaluations, allowing them to focus more on classroom instruction and student development. Conversely, teachers rated as "developing" or "below standard" would continue to be evaluated annually. This approach aims to reduce administrative burden for high-performing educators while maintaining supportive oversight for those who need additional guidance to improve their teaching performance. The bill recognizes that top-performing teachers should be trusted to continue their effective teaching practices without the annual evaluation requirement, while still providing targeted support and assessment for educators who have not yet reached the highest performance levels.
