Welcome to episode 28 of the Extra Credit podcast.

This week, we’re dropping everything to focus on Idaho’s controversial teacher evaluation system. Host Clark Corbin and policy expert and former school superintendent Randy Schrader break down how evaluations work, how they are connected to teacher pay and the links to taxpayer dollars.

Then, Schrader explains what could be at stake as Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra announces preliminary steps to overhaul the state’s evaluation system — which she describes as problematic.
