Why Technology may be the Key to Better Teacher Evaluations

Let’s talk about the purpose of an employee evaluation — or, in this case, a teacher evaluation. It all comes down to providing constructive feedback that will help employees improve the way they do their jobs.

Tackling that obstacle has been a top priority for some school districts that are implementing cloud-based technology to better manage teacher evaluations. According to an article in Entrepreneur.com, technology could be one of the keys to improving the process.

A web app designed to meet the needs of educational systems, principals and school districts can streamline the process — eliminating some of the obstacles for a smooth evaluation process.
