Louisiana wanted a new system because teachers were getting paid based on tenure and not performance. The Department of Education wanted teachers to get bonuses and raises based on performance. Teachers have a different Rubric for Students with disabilities.

              Evaluations are expensive and time consuming, it is important for administrators to allot
              funding for equipment and materials. Student report cards will be a part of my evaluation of
              the teacher. If the student has a below average grade, then I will have a conference with the
             teacher to see how she is going to differentiate instruction to meet grade-level objectives.
