The Goal of the Teacher Evaluation System
• The goal is to support the continuous growth and development of each teacher by monitoring, analyzing, and applying pertinent data compiled within a system of meaningful feedback.
Purposes of Evaluation System
• To improve the quality of instruction• To contribute to successful achievement of
the district’s goals and objectives• To provide a basis for instructional
improvement• To share responsibility for evaluation
between the teacher and the evaluation team
Distinguishing Characteristics of System• Benchmark behaviors for performance standards• Focus on the relationship between teacher
performance and improved student achievement• System for documenting teacher performance
based on multiple data sources• Procedure for conducting performance reviews
that stresses accountability, professional improvement, and teacher involvement in the evaluation process
• Support system for providing assistance
Teacher Performance Standards & Performance Indicators Make Up the System
Teacher Performance Standards• Data-Driven Planning • Instructional Delivery• Assessment• Learning Environment• Communication• Professionalism• Student Achievement
Teacher Performance Standards & Performance Indicators Make Up the System
Indicators• Indicators are examples of the types of
performance that will occur if the standard is met. Part III of the Evaluation Handbook provides sample indicators (see page 39).
Teacher Performance Standards & Performance Indicators Make Up the System• The Classroom Observation Form and the
Post-Observation Conference Record include the performance standards with sample indicators (See page 27 and page 28).
Documentation is an Important Part of the Evaluation System• Goal Setting Form (Relates to Student

The Evaluation Process: Employee Improvement Plan• The Employee Improvement Plan (EIP) is
designed to support a teacher in addressing areas of concern through targeted supervision and additional resources.
• The EIP is a tool that evaluators may use at any point during the year for teachers whose professional practice would benefit from additional supports.
The Evaluation Process: Employee Improvement Plan• Additionally, an EIP is implemented if one
of the following scenarios occurs at the end of any data-collection period:– A teacher receives two or more ratings
of “needs improvement” in a summative evaluation; or
– A teacher receives one rating of “unsatisfactory” on any of the seven teacher performance standards in a summative evaluation.
The Evaluation Process: Employee Improvement Plan• If there is a need for improvement, an EIP should
be developed using the form on page 37.• Assistance may include:
– assistance from a curriculum or program coordinator;
– peer assistance from within the building or from another building;
– conferences, classes, and workshops on specific topics; and/or
– other resources to be identified.
The Evaluation Process: Employee Improvement Plan• Teachers on an EIP will be ineligible for a
salary step advancement. After removal from the plan status, the employee may return to his/her normal salary step with adjustments.
• The purpose of the EIP is to help a teacher improve.
