continuing effort in attaining proficiency; and
c. apply a uniform measure to assess teacher
performance, identify needs, and provide support
for professional development.

ensure that teachers are properly equipped to
effectively implement the K to 12 Program. It can

teachers. All performance appraisals for teachers
