Importance of EDUCATE/LEADAlabama

Bice, State Superintendent of Education, as he discusses the importance of  EDUCATEAlabama (EA) and LEADAlabama (LEAD), the formative evaluation online processes for teachers/educators and instructional leaders serving students in Alabama’s schools. Dr. Bice’s words are timely as practitioners prepare to implement EA in Year 3 and and LEAD in Year 1, beginning August 1, 2012.
