The Role of Multi-data Evaluations in the Site-based Management: An Examination of an Innovative Teacher Professional Growth Plan

Abstract

In this paper we present and discuss a new form of teacher evaluation implemented in a western Canadian province. The potential for the teacher professional growth plan (TPGP) to become a process for individual development is examined from within the context of site-based management. We conclude that the TPGP provides a framework for teachers and administrators to analyze their own practice in the spirit of annual professional self renewal.
