Advice From The Field

Self-Reflection

• Shift from reflecting on individual activities to reflecting on teaching practice

• Depend on the rubric

• Model the reflective process

Educator Observations

Observations

• An opportunity for evidence collection.

• Provide another occasion for communication between evaluator and educator.

Observations

• A “Snapshot” of Educator performance.

– Educators may note standard elements demonstrated during an observation in the online Educator Evaluation System.

– Evaluators may note standard elements observed in an observation in the online Educator Evaluation System.

Educator Evidence

Educator Evidence

• What is Evidence?– Materials / Data that support the

determination of a rating

• When should Evidence be Collected?– Throughout the school year, but must be

completed by Evaluation Conference.

Educator Evidence• Who Collects the Evidence?– Both the Evaluator and the Educator may

collect evidence.

• Is the Educator Required to Provide Evidence?– When a “Distinguished” Rating is Given– If Principal and Teacher disagree on a Rating– When an “Unsatisfactory” Rating is Given

Educator Evidence

• What is the Difference between Evidence “Noted in the System” and “providing” evidence?

“Noted in System” vs. “Providing”• First Determine if Evidence is Needed.

• If Evidence is Needed:– Mutually agreed upon Evidence may be “Noted in

the System”.– Evidence is “Provided” when the Evaluator is not

fully aware of the evidence.

“Noted in the System”

document Evidence to be verified.

• How much Evidence is needed?– Can be as simple as a description with

date /time.– Portfolios / Binders full of

Documentation are NOT NEEDED!!

Evidence
