P.G. students rating their teachers in pilot program

Some students in Prince George’s County will be rating their teachers this year as part of a Maryland pilot program spreading to all school districts.

The program, which affects hundreds of teachers in 38 county schools across a range of subjects and grade levels, is meant to help the state figure out better methods to evaluate the growth of its teachers. Under the state pilot, each school system is allowed some customization, and Prince George’s decided to experiment with student surveys.
