OverviewPDP ProcessEvaluation Process

Early August 2013

District Training: Leaders

• Face-to-Face with System Access (4 hours): Administrators gather at computer lab/wifi enabled space to participate in a session that follows a state prepared training plan:   Listen, Watch, Practice, Do, Refresh approach:– Listen - To trainer provide overview, context, and process.– Watch – State created video/captivate.– Practice – Completing task in system training

environment.– Do – The work in the live production environment where

applicable (for example, Rights Assignment).– Refresh – Review process by viewing web-based

video/captivates during administrator meetings and/or self-directed.

School Level Training: Teachers

• Training Case One: Face-to-Face with System Demonstration: School administrators are encouraged to conduct training during a dedicated session during which the leader demonstrates completing the overall process (evaluator and teacher) using provided training accounts. Immediately following the training, Teachers should be instructed to start the PDP and Evaluation processes and complete their self assessment and orientation. (Listen, Watch, Do and Refresh)

• Training Case Two: Self-Directed: In some cases, face-to-face system training may not be possible and teachers will participate in web-based self-directed learning. In this scenario, teachers would participate in the web-based self-directed learning process: (Watch, Do, Refresh).

• In all scenarios, NCDPI recommends that administrators utilize “Just-In-Time” review sessions during faculty meetings to address upcoming process actions at key times throughout the year (see state webinar training schedule as a sample calendar)
