Accountability/Compass

Information about Appraise, Compass and CIS (Compass Information System) is located on this page.

For teachers, counselors, librarians and leaders who will be evaluated using the new Compass program:

• Compass Information System (CIS) Link: https://leads13.doe.louisiana.gov/hcs/FrameWork.aspx
• Compass Library (comprehensive sets of links to resources, reports, etc.)
• Instructions (using Appraise, registering on the CIS site, entering SLTs in CIS)
• Allowing pop-ups from the HCIS Site (you MUST allow these to use CIS)
• How to view and acknowledge final evaluations in CIS
• Locked out of CIS? First, try clicking "Forgot Personal Login Code" or "Forgot Password." If trouble persists, contact the LSDVI CIS Administrator, who can re-set deactivated accounts.

According to the Performance Evaluation System established for evaluation of LSDVI teachers and administrators LSDVI evaluates teachers, counselors and librarians in three major areas:

1. Professional Practice
2. Student Achievement (SLTs or VAM)
3. Professional Conduct

Ratings from 1-4 are calculated for all areas/components. The rating scale is:

• Ineffective (1.0-1.4)
• Effective: Emerging (1.5-2.4)
• Effective: Proficient (2.5-3.4)
• Highly Effective (3.5-4.0)

Documentation of the first two components, Professional Practice and Student Achievement, is in the Compass Information System (CIS). The third component, Professional Conduct, is based on "non-Compass" criteria which are listed on each school's "Full Faculty Evaluation Attachment" document. See below for links to these documents.

This "Attachment" is an Excel file which combines the Compass components and the Professional Conduct criteria and calculates an overall rating. For each person who is evaluated in Compass, one of these Excel documents will be completed, printed, scanned to PDF and attached to the employee's Appraise profile.

Accountability - Unclassified (non-Compass)

Unclassified LSDVI employees who do not fall under the Compass evaluation system are evaluated according to their job descriptions. Documentation of the process are kept in our Eduphoria/SchoolObjects Appraise database.

Each year, unclassified employees complete a Professional Growth Plan (PGP) and Self-Evaluation. At the end of the year, these employees are evaluated according to their Evaluation template, which matches the job description.

Evaluators must set up their evaluatees in the Appraise system. For a "How To" document explaining how to do this, click here.
