The Georgia Department of Education is launching a pilot for a new teacher evaluation system that emphasizes professional growth and elevates the teaching profession.
The Georgia Leader and Educator Acceleration and Development System (GaLEADS) allows teachers to improve their craft, share strengths, and be recognized for their contributions to the profession. The pilot will feature a comprehensive system that includes targeted feedback, shared ownership for professional growth, and clear pathways for career advancement.
GaLEADS will:
-
Provide Georgia's teachers resources to succeed in the profession at every stage in their career
-
Support teachers through customized, differentiated, targeted professional development
-
Include assessments expanded that reflect student growth and achievement, whole school accomplishments, and student development
