Teacher Performance Accountability:
All teachers report directly to their Manager. Teacher performance is reviewed on a weekly basis. During these reviews, overall performance in terms of grading-time response and the use of feedback, and student’s performance in their courses is examined. This generally consists of going into each teachers’ dashboard, reviewing their to-do list and the rate at which the teacher is grading the material and student performance.  During this review, at least one of their course gradebooks is reviewed to examine student performance and dive into the latest submissions to make sure the teacher is providing good instructional feedback to the students. This approach promotes students’ success and that teachers are abiding by the instruction policies. Specific issues or accomplishments are recorded during this review.

To accomplish the teacher’s review the Instruction Manager utilizes the Instructor Performance Matrix.  The matrix is designed to work as a communication tool between the instructor and evaluator.   Outlined in the matrix are requirements Accelerate Education emphasizes to drive successful performance for online students.  33% of teacher’s overall rating is based on student completion (80% or higher) and passing metrics (85% or higher).

The instructor’s overall performance is evaluated according to the following scale:

• Great = Exceeds Expectations (examples listed in the comments)
• Good = Meets Expectations
• Ok = Sometimes Meets Expectations
• No = Neglected to Meet Expectations (goals for improvement listed in the comments)
• NA = Not Applicable

All teachers at Accelerate Education are required to maintain a Good to Great rating to continue teaching for Accelerate Education.
