The Kentucky Evaluation Calibration Cadre brings together school leaders like you to engage in professional development through the observation and analysis of classroom lesson videos. Together, we will align evidence from these lessons to the performance levels of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching and gauge accuracy with a review of master scores. This structured, collaborative process allows you to deepen your understanding of effective teaching practices, enhance your evaluation skills, and directly support your school’s growth.
