Teacher Evaluation Process

In June, 2013, the Cherry Creek Licensed Personnel Performance Evaluation Council (1338 Council) made recommendations to the Board of Education to adopt the Colorado Model Teacher Evaluation System (CMTS). Cherry Creek Schools adopted the CMTS and provided district-wide orientation training beginning July, 2013.
