Indiana Teacher Performance Evaluation Results Released

Last updated on Tuesday, April 8, 2014

(INDIANAPOLIS) - For the first time ever, a report on the effectiveness of Indiana public school teachers has been released.

According to the Indiana DOE, the 2012-2013 data shows that over 87 percent of public school educators, including teachers and administrators, were rated as either effective or highly effective, while only 3 percent were rated as either needs improvement or ineffective. The remaining 10 percent did not receive a final evaluation due to circumstances such as resignation or retirement.

"I am encouraged by these numbers," said Glenda Ritz, Superintendent of Public Instruction. "For the most part, they confirm what we already knew: that public schools throughout Indiana are filled with effective and highly effective teachers. Research shows that highly effective educators are exactly the type of leaders that can turn schools around and increase school performance."
