Certified Evaluation Plan
In an effort to provide more flexibility to principals and teachers, we would like to revise the timeline of the Certified Evaluation Plan that deals with observing tenured teachers not on summative cycle and teh due date for the Professional Growth Plan. The revision consists of removing the language "during the first semester". The revision would allow the principal to conduct an observation during the course of the school year rather than having to have it completed by the first semester.
The second change moves the due date of the Professional Growth Plan to either October 15 or 10 student days after the release of the state assessment results. This will permit certified staff to develop relevant growth goals aligned to the needs of the students. The Certified Evaluation Plan Committee has approved both changes. This section of the Evaluation Plan is attached with the proposed revisions highlighted.
