observation is done several times a year. Each cla ssroom is observed
for three minutes and evaluated in six different categories. Each
building receives it’s own score. The purpose of the evaluation is to
show if the school is student engaged or teacher en gaged. Mrs. Miner
would like to experiment with this in our District. She also mentioned
