MORE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS IN NEW MEXICO ARE GETTING TOP MARKS. THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION SAYS THE LATEST RESULTS OF THE TEACHER EVALUATION SYSTEM SHOW JUST OVER 34 PERCENT OF TEACHERS EARNED HIGHLY EFFECTIVE OR EXEMPLARY RATINGS LAST YEAR. THAT’S UP TWO PERCENTAGE POINTS FROM THE YEAR BEFORE.
ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF NEW MEXICO TEACHERS WERE GRADED AS EFFECTIVE OR BETTER. THE P-E-D SAYS THERE’S BEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS EARNING THE HIGHEST RATINGS SINCE THE SYSTEM WAS PUT IN PLACE THREE YEARS AGO.
