Cobb Keys Speech/Language Pathologist Evaluation Process The
performance evaluation process for SLPs consists of two components:
Instructional observations by school-based evaluator and Lead SLP.
Lead SLPs will also complete the SLP Performance Survey and provide
it to the Principal.

Classroom Observations Evaluators are encouraged to conduct
pre- observation conferences with their evaluates prior to the
classroom observation. Evaluators will observe SLPs in the
classroom at least once during the school year using the CCSD SLP
Observation Form Performance assessment observations must occur
prior to May 1st (OCGA 20-2-210). SLPs with three years or less
teaching SLP experience will be observed at least twice during the
school year, the second of which may be an unannounced observation.
All formal classroom observation date(s) will be entered on the SLP
Performance Report form, Section V.
Slide 6
Classroom Observations Each observation must last for at least
thirty minutes; the evaluator must document the observation on the
computerized SLP Instructional Observation Form. Observation
Feedback Conferences Following each observation, the evaluator will
provide formal feedback to the SLP on what was observed. Private
feedback conferences between the evaluator and SLP should occur
within 10 school days of the observation. The date(s) of the
feedback conferences will be entered on the SLP Performance Report
Form, Section V. Feedback conferences must occur prior to May 1st
(OCGA 20-2-210).

annually using the CCSD SLP Performance Report Form. Any SLP who
works for thirty or more days in a school year must have an annual
evaluation. This includes SLPs on a limited contract and any SLP
who may resign or be terminated prior to April 1. Evaluators will
use the SLP Performance Report Rubric to assess whether the SLP
earns Proficient, Emerging, or Unsatisfactory ratings on each of
the four Performance Factors (Section II, A-D). a. Not Evident: Not
easy to see; not obvious b. Emerging: Evolving; showing new or
improved development c. Proficient: Highly competent; skilled;
adept; an expert
