About Kim Marshall
Teacher evaluations are key to staff engagement & retention. But the feedback most teachers get is often too surface level, or doesn’t arrive in time.
The founder of the hugely popular Marshall Memo and a former Boston principal Kim Marshall has dedicated his 30-plus-year career in education to helping school building leaders build trust and authentically engage with classroom teachers.
Kim’s process of mini-classroom evaluations features a series of short, frequent, unannounced classroom visits designed to help schools get more good teaching, in more classrooms more of the time.
A lifelong student of teaching and school leadership, Kim’s teacher evaluation framework and program is designed to help administrators make more efficient use of time, while improving teacher confidence, building rapport, and boosting student outcomes.
