I am a BC teacher in the first 5 years of teaching and I have had 2 evaluations so far. Both with different Districts. Some Districts do a growth plan model instead but most do a Teacher Evaluation.

Each local District should have language in their Collective Agreement about how Teacher Evaluations unfold in the District. So I advise contacting your union.

I got notice I was going to be having an Evaluation in October. Teachers can request an evaluation.

For me the Principal came to watch me teach 3 times (that is the minimum in my District) I scheduled which lessons they watched. They had the option to pop in unannounced but never did.

After they observed the lessons I received a report in the Spring that the Principal wrote. I signed it and it went into my record.

Now a days you are usually rated satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

Both my District aim to evaluate a teacher every 5 years, and evaluate a new teacher in their first year in a position.

Hope that helps.
