In this story, learn about how Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) and San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) support equity in the E3 Project. SDCOE developed the E3 Project to be a model of collaboration and innovation with regard to teacher evaluation. The project is designed to shift the culture of teacher evaluation within districts and charter schools to a system that focuses on continuous growth for teachers, enhances instruction, and impacts student learning. The E3 Project develops partnerships between labor and management by bringing administrators and teachers together for a two-year collaborative process that includes a series of academies and facilitated working intersessions that result in the development of an individualized, local evaluation system. It is an opportunity for all stakeholders to work together around the table with equal voices.
