BLOOMFIELD — While most school districts are just starting to implement new teacher evaluation models, teachers at Bloomfield School District have already received a glimpse of how they would rate in the state-mandated teacher evaluation system.

And according to recent results, a majority of Bloomfield teachers fall into the two highest ratings. But 18 percent were in the lowest.

“I think every teacher’s goal is to be highly effective,” said Bloomfield Superintendent Dan Sichting. “If they are effective, they are pretty good. If you look at our grades, look at our achievement last year and achievement growth, I would argue that our teachers were pretty effective for the most part.”

Last year, Bloomfield served as one of six school corporations to pilot the state’s RISE Performance Evaluation model or an alternative model.
