Self-Evaluation and “Highly Effective” <\/b><\/p>\n

The self-evaluation is only required once per year, at the beginning of the year prior to developing the Individualized Development Plan (IDP – goal-setting). <\/span><\/p>\n

If a teacher ranks her\/himself as highly effective in September, he\/she may upload “artifacts” throughout the school year as evidence of the his\/her self-evaluation highly-effective ranking. The purpose of the self-evaluation is to 1) ensure a unanimous understanding of the Danielson rubric, 2) identify potential professional growth goal(s) for the IDP, 3) fosters self-reflection and instructional dialogue with the administrator. \u00a0The self-evaluation is not to be officially included as part of formal observations or the year-end evaluation. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

25% Measurable Goal<\/b><\/p>\n

The committee agreed that the 25% measurable growth goal will be weighted the same as it was during the 2014-15 school year, which is 10% classroom, 10% building, and 5% district performance. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Required NWEA Measurable Goal Statement – Clarification (see note below)<\/b><\/p>\n

All teachers will have the following student growth goal: All students must show growth (ideally one year or more)<\/span> or maintain proficiency<\/span> based on growth measures that are used for the evaluation. It is understood that this does not mean that every student will necessarily be on grade level as we measure growth vs. achievement data. \u00a0For the NWEA if they maintain or exceed their RIT status for their grade level norm, that is considered growth. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: <\/i><\/b>\u00a0“Maintain” means that a fifth grader with a RIT score of 218 in September that has a RIT score of 225 in May has maintained. \u00a0The student increased performance, yet remains at grade level proficiency. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pre and Post Conference Forms<\/b><\/p>\n

Pre-observation conference forms are required for Plan I teachers and highly recommended for Plan II teachers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Post-observation conference forms are required for Plan I, II, and III teachers. \u00a0This form guides the post-observation meeting dialogue about instruction. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teachscape & Scoring Components <\/b><\/p>\n

The Teachscape tool is designed to require evaluators to score each component. \u00a0Given this, administrators can use the scoring feature on Teachscape to help guide the post-observation conference. \u00a0However, following additional research the committee will determine how the scoring feature of the Teachscape tool impacts the year-end evaluation. \u00a0More details to follow. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
