In this episode, Brittany and Ethan explore the historical change of teacher evaluations by focusing into Mary Lou Romaine's experiences in the 1970’s Georgia education system. We highlight differences between past and current teacher qualifications, such as transcripts and evaluation criteria. Mary Lou’s story, as a teacher focused on advocating for educationers as whole, becomes a focal point. Some concern was discussed about the unfair forms of early teacher evaluations, which focused on appearance and personal opinions, where it compared to the more objective methods used today. Later we interviewed a teacher on her view on previously mentioned topics. Podcast was concluded with a conclusion of Mary Lou’s accomplishments.
