I am not familiar with the requirements of the Illinois Department of Education, so I will ask you: Are you saying that teachers within the Chicago Public Schools are not being evaluated? I would find that hard to believe. In Pa, I was formally evaluated by a building administrator about once every two weeks. The evaluations were followed by a meeting where long term development goals and classroom techniques were reviewed, upon which I would sign the evaluation form that would be added to my permanent record. In addition, I would be evaluated once per marking period by my department supervisor, who would then follow suit as with the building administrator. This was standard for every level I taught at. And yes, that was a lot of paperwork.

So, is it test-based evaluation, or any evaluation at all? I would find objection to having any type of evaluation to be completely unreasonable.
