      Answer Example

      "There are many ways to evaluate a teachers' performance. For that reason, I am sure to keep an open mind while assessing a variety of factors. As an experienced Preschool Director, I know very well that open and honest communication with my team of educators is one of the primary keys to everyone reaching their goals. When evaluating the productivity of my teaching staff, I look at their total classroom teaching time and their student absence rate. I also explore the student support measures each teacher has put in place and their students' grades.
