CLASSROOM & NON-CLASSROOM TEACHER EVALUATION OVERVIEW
The following is an outline of the procedures for evaluating non-administrative certificated employees (“teacher”) for the coming school year. Please refer to Article 16 of the contract for details (relevant sections below marked with “§”).
WHO IS TO BE EVALUATED?
Permanent teachers who were not evaluated last year. (§16.5)
Probationary, temporary, categorical, emergency, and intern teachers (§16.4)
Permanent teachers whose Summary Evaluation for last year was Unsatisfactory or Improvement Needed. (§16.5.1)
Others designated in writing by the Site Administrator or Executive Director, Human Resources. (§16.5.2; 16.5.2.1) This is called an “Out of Cycle” Evaluation.
WHAT MAKES UP THE EVALUATION?
The evaluation is made up of a number of assessment sequences followed by a summary evaluation. The number of assessment sequences is determined by the status of the teacher. Each sequence results in a Written Classroom Performance Report (WCPR) or a Written Performance Report (WPR). (§16.7.1; 16.7.2)
HOW MANY ASSESSMENT SEQUENCES SHOULD THERE BE FOR THE YEAR?
At the end of Assessment Sequence you must complete a Summary Evaluation for each teacher (Reflecting all WCPRs/WPRs and other written feedback. This is also true for Short Form Evaluations. (§16.7.2)
WHAT MAKES UP AN ASSESSMENT SEQUENCE?
A pre-observation conference, an observation, and a written report. We recommend holding a post-observation supervisory conference.
In the case of a classroom teacher, the observation shall be one full period of forty minutes, or one full period, whichever is longer.
In the case of a non-classroom teacher, the observation may be ongoing.
