Formal Evaluation - Certified Employees
"ADEPT" is an acronym for SC's evaluation system for certified employees. The letters stand for assisting, developing, and evaluating professional teaching. In addition to classroom-based teachers, the ADEPT system also includes special area educators (i.e., school guidance counselors, library media specialists, and speech-language therapists).
3 ADEPT Models Are Used in SC:
