Pre-/Post & Student SurveyEach of these will contribute to your Teacher Evaluation

Pre-Test & Post-Test Taken in all content areas Will consist of 1 or 2 passages and

10 multiple choice questions Should take about 40 minutes to

complete Will be online Passages will reflect content, yet

the same literary standards will be assessed across the board

Student Survey Online Will measure 7 classroom climate

constructs (Harvard Tripod Study): Care, Challenge, Control,

Clarify,, Captivate, Confer, Consolidate

Key Points to Keep in Mind

All teachers of record will be administering and proctoring the test Other school staff without a cohort of assigned students will receive a growth

score derived from school average Support teachers will receive the score of the class where they provide support

Eventually all teachers will be able to use School City for in-class formative assessments as a tool to support instruction
