The Northport Public School Board of Education (BOE) rated superintendent Neil Wetherbee “effective” once again at its regular meeting on Monday evening.
Northport, like other school districts, continues to follow the Marzano School Leader Evaluation Model, a tool recommended by the Michigan Council of Educator Effectiveness.
Wetherbee, who is in his ninth year as Northport superintendent, said while the evaluation process of rating school leaders using different domains remains the same, the ratings from last year to this year are labeled slightly different due to state changes that were put into effect July 1. Before the state changes, the rating labels were “ineffective, minimally effective, effective, or highly effective.” The new evaluation label ratings for teachers, principals, and superintendents are now “effective, developing, or needs support.”
