Teacher Evaluation:
Cultural Competence
PPS- PAT Teacher Evaluation Committee
June 29th and 30th
Questions:
• How will culturally
competent
practices be
incorporated in this
new tool?
• What supports are in place to increase
teacher and leader efficacy with respect
to cultural competence?
Why?
Yes deep knowledge, good methods, and materials in
education matter a great deal; however, it appears
that so much of educational reform is the search for a
“one – trick pony,” a “silver bullet,” or anything that
does not require us to consider the complexities of a
nurturing environment. “Programs” cannot substitute
for the humanity of teachers [adults] that is the key
element to student success. We cannot minimize the
place of love, “fire in the belly,” vision, values
determination, commitment, hard work, consistency,
and strong, bonded relationships on the part of
teachers [and staff]. –Asa Hilliard
