Professional Growth and Evaluation Process

Educator talent development is prioritized in Granite’s Strategic Plan to ensure students have Graduate of Granite competencies. Granite’s Professional Growth and Evaluation (PG&E) is a systematic process that provides an understanding of expectations and feedback on the performance of those expectations. The PG&E series of professional learning events focus on improving consistency and congruence across supervisors, investing in coaching, and facilitating continuous improvement.  

Principal PLC

Provide time for principals to work collaboratively in support of positive change at their school sites and in developing school improvement strategies/action plans designed to increase student achievement within the context of the Strategic Plan.
