OTTAWA, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 07/09/12 — continues to see growth in the number of K-12 school districts selecting the company-s talent management suite to support teacher evaluation and development. Over 70 educational institutions currently rely on Halogen to simplify evaluations, improve teacher development and reduce administrative overhead.
In a time where K-12 schools are under increasing pressure to comply with state requirements for teacher performance appraisals, Halogen is being recognized by school administrators for its flexible and simple-to-use solution. With Halogen, schools can gain real insight into performance gaps and development needs using a library of competencies and the rubric or evaluation framework of their choice. The solution is designed to enable K-12 schools to get up and running quickly and start transforming this burdensome administrative process into one that drives performance, development, and accountability. It also helps to create a clear, meaningful link between the work teachers do in the classroom and state requirements.
Englewood Schools in Colorado, recently selected Halogen to connect teaching practices with student achievement outcomes, “I-ve had great success implementing Halogen in a previous school district and knew the value it would bring to our evaluations in Englewood,” explained Linda Shamlin, Director of Human Resources & Benefits, Englewood Schools. “Not only does Halogen eliminate the inefficiencies we face with a manual, paper and pencil process but it turns a one time, year-end event into a year-long process. This improves employee-supervisor collaboration and provides us with actionable information to enhance staff performance with continuous professional development. The targeted end result being improved student achievement.”
Englewood joins other K-12 organizations using Halogen eAppraisal Education including Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, Keene School District and West Bend Joint School District.
