Good Morning,

A couple of weeks ago the MTEA Evaluation Committee met to analyze the data based on the evaluation surveys completed up to that time. Attached is our report. The MTEA Evaluation Committee will meet again in late May to analyze the data based on surveys completed from March 14 to the end of May. If you haven't completed a survey for any or all of your observations this school year, it is not too late!!! It only takes 2-3 minutes to complete a survey (have your observation handy). Please use the links below.

Thank you and enjoy the day!

Sincerely,
