Research has shown that the quality of instruction is the single most important factor in student achievement. Employee evaluations are important to ensure that we are meeting the District's goals together and creating the best possible learning environment for our students and colleagues. Employees are evaluated as is required by Education Code Section 44929.21B.

There is a process for each type of employee: Certificated (anyone with a teaching credential), Classified (non-teaching personnel), and Administrator (some have both teaching and administrative services credentials, depending on the position; others do not).
