Cache County School District believes in providing its educators with growth and professional development opportunities. By investing in our employees, we aim to build a dedicated team committed to our shared vision of learning and growth. CCSD has adopted the Utah State Board of Education Growth Oriented Teacher Evaluation. This model is based on the Utah Effective Teaching Standards.  Educators participate in a formative evaluation cycle annually for three years, followed by summative evaluation cycle in the fourth year.  The Board of Education has adopted the following policy and procedures for educator evaluations:
