| The main aim of this study is to observe the educational performance and evaluation system in Colonial High School, Orange County in Florida. Data was collected from the members of administration and staff on the instructional methods applied. Various models like the Marzano Model were also looked at its application in the evaluation of the performance of the teachers and the principals in Orange County. The structure in the Orange County and the management of education in the county was also looked at in the process. Therefore, it seeks to provide an understanding of how education in Orange County is evaluated. To achieve this objective, qualitative research methods have been used. Data has been collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources are the data obtained from the teachers and parents while the secondary sources of data are obtained from journals and different articles.

From the analysis of data, Orange County has a proper management of education where teachers are always evaluated, and the performance monitored. There is an existing management structure in Orange County Public Schools. Principals are given the opportunity to interview teachers for vacancies. When they interview the teachers then they can integrate their ideas and identify the teachers who can deliver. Principals can advertise for, recruit, and recommend good candidates for hire. A principal has no direct authority to fire an employee. They must go through the chain of command and make a recommendation to the school board. Therefore, principals can make recommendations that the teacher be fired, but the actual removal from position is from the superintendent/school board Teacher certification is the process by which an individual goes through to get license to teach within a given area, after completing all the other requirements such as course work, test.Principals are evaluated by the superintendents.
