Sample District Teacher Evaluation Form Review by

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:45:42 UTC

Multiple opportunities to observe (4 on the document)

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:45:53 UTC

More of a checklist

rhannan — 2024-12-11 18:46:05 UTC

Observation dates are built into the timeline.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:46:40 UTC

Long form view of descriptions (more narrative); includes recommendations

2024-12-11 18:46:45 UTC

All standards are evaluated; there is opportunity to rate quantitatively as well as add descriptions in form of "commendations, evaluations, and evidence.

rhannan — 2024-12-11 18:47:27 UTC

Includes self evaluation/reflection. Teacher uploads evidence.

2024-12-11 18:48:09 UTC

First observation occurs before winter break. Offers opportunity to reflect and grow before second observation in March.

2024-12-11 18:49:06 UTC

There is not a timeline noted, nor follow-ups and clarification on what the rating system involves. A lot of the form seems to be up to the evaluator's interpretation and preference; the teacher does not seem to have input.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:49:07 UTC

observation, feedback, coaching - by November.

Explicit growth for next steps and opportunity for modeling

2024-12-11 18:49:12 UTC

No detail in observation report. Includes only checkboxes for each standard, with lots of room for notes.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:49:17 UTC

Simple

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:49:44 UTC

time consuming for admin; depending on size of school may be challenging to complete

2024-12-11 18:50:10 UTC

Goal oriented, in that you need to create a Smart Goal that I assume would go with 1 of the CSTP standards.

2024-12-11 18:50:14 UTC

Lesson template is outdated

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:50:19 UTC

formalizes coaching model

2024-12-11 18:51:11 UTC

Format of evaluation forms is well-organized & easy to follow. Smart Goals ar organized in an easy to read table.

rhannan — 2024-12-11 18:51:11 UTC

Includes family survey responses/data as evidence.

2024-12-11 18:51:27 UTC

Could be too specific, not comprehensive enough.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:51:43 UTC

pre-determined skills for probationary teachers; allow for collaboration and building skills together

2024-12-11 18:52:03 UTC

Allows for more than just the Admins. perspective on the evaluation

rhannan — 2024-12-11 18:52:50 UTC

5 different levels on the rubric- 1. emerging 2. exploring 3. applying 4. integrating 5. innovating

2024-12-11 18:53:10 UTC

Three different options for evaluation (once permanent). Portfolio Option; Partner Option; traditional Administrator evaluation Option.

2024-12-11 18:53:20 UTC

There's a lot to read through, in terms of the Standards Tables

2024-12-11 18:53:23 UTC

Includes several subcategories for each standard, adding more detail to the evaluation process. Notes section for evidence, commendations, and recommendations.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:54:22 UTC

A lot of evaluation/time spent for meetings

2024-12-11 18:54:50 UTC

Use of SMART-E (equity) goals

2024-12-11 18:55:05 UTC

Based on multiple observations

2024-12-11 18:55:27 UTC

I like the idea of the evaluation being called a "Teacher Success Plan" and the goal is to retain teachers. I like the self-monitoring piece.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:55:36 UTC

Decent process for SMART goals

Aligns with credential program

2024-12-11 18:55:43 UTC

requires evaluators to be trained

2024-12-11 18:56:16 UTC

Teachers showing evidence of CSTPs in the evaluation form.

2024-12-11 18:56:18 UTC

Clear and structured.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 18:56:43 UTC

teachers are choosing 1 or 3 evaluation time (may not see enough in 1 lesson)

2024-12-11 18:57:32 UTC

detailed instructions of the process

2024-12-11 18:57:54 UTC

There is a detailed flow chart with dates, roles, and tasks specified for the teacher and the evaluator. "Drop in" evaluations in addition to formal evaluations ensure a more realistic picture of the classroom environment and everyday teaching.

2024-12-11 18:58:23 UTC

Unclear if teacher or evaluator submits evidence and the role of the teacher in the evaluation process.

2024-12-11 18:58:35 UTC

There is no form to see and assess

2024-12-11 18:58:38 UTC

Two full observation/feedback/coaching cycles during school year. Four observation/feedback/coaching sessions during each cycle.

2024-12-11 18:59:36 UTC

There is quite a bit the teacher has to provide and might make sense to create a form for the teacher to fill out instead of providing so many independent docs, feels like teacher credentialing program.

2024-12-11 19:00:28 UTC

Teachers can choose a self-evaluation instead of a formal evaluation; if they are denied that option, it must be presented to them in writing, and they can appeal it.

lbuckley42 — 2024-12-11 19:01:55 UTC

Opportunity for teacher input

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:02:46 UTC

comprehensive process explained in writing

2024-12-11 19:03:36 UTC

Requires admin. to have a pre-lesson observation conference to have the teacher give context of the lesson and any prior information that would be helpful for the observer

2024-12-11 19:04:19 UTC

The evaluation process is very involved and detailed, but if our goal is an evaluation process that is timely as well as meaningful and collaborative, this wouldn't be it.

2024-12-11 19:04:31 UTC

Many opportunities to be coached throughout the year.

2024-12-11 19:04:42 UTC

Is there enough time for all the coaching.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:05:07 UTC

4 domains: professional practice, profesisonal growth, student learning, student perception (student feedback on learning - super cool)

2024-12-11 19:05:45 UTC

I like the look & layout of the form. . .very concise. I like the choice between one formal versus 3 informal observations. I like the timeline of receiving all written observations within 3 days, 2 days fro self-reflection, and follow-up discussion within 6 days of observation.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:06:27 UTC

step 4 --> professional growth plan; accountability

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:06:33 UTC

complicated

2024-12-11 19:06:36 UTC

Extremely basic. Open to a wide range of interpretation. No goals mentioned

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:07:26 UTC

clear rubric

2024-12-11 19:07:33 UTC

User friendly forms, Smart Goal incorporated, specifies if there is anything the teacher would like the evaluator to look for. I like this question!

2024-12-11 19:07:54 UTC

Seems like a quick checklist

2024-12-11 19:09:57 UTC

I like the teacher reflection piece

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:10:15 UTC

comprehensive process; very detailed

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:10:27 UTC

narrative focused

2024-12-11 19:12:16 UTC

Includes student learning objectives (SLO) as 35% of evaluation. Teacher submits SLO target and data to meet goal.

2024-12-11 19:12:17 UTC

The website has a lot of information and clarity in regards to what is involved in the evaluation process and on which components teachers are evaluated. The evaluation process is presented as part of all teacher's ongoing development.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:12:20 UTC

documents easy to look at and use

2024-12-11 19:12:32 UTC

Don't like the look of the evaluation form. Not detailed enough.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:12:39 UTC

time consuming

2024-12-11 19:13:09 UTC

you work with a "partner" to reflect on your practices and then bring those reflections to an administrator

2024-12-11 19:13:49 UTC

Observation Timeline allows for reflection & growth.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:13:56 UTC

self assessment prior to eval

2024-12-11 19:14:04 UTC

35% of a teacher's score is based on student's growth, and 15% is based on student growth school-wide.

2024-12-11 19:14:21 UTC

feels very combative with admin. admin seems to owe a lot to teachers in this, and require a lot of notice before entering classroom, which seems inauthentic

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:14:35 UTC

online system

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:16:02 UTC

clear with evidence of what they are doing well

2024-12-11 19:16:24 UTC

Opportunities for self-reflection, emphasizes professional growth, more so, than evaluation.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:16:38 UTC

lost in the sauce of a long document

2024-12-11 19:16:58 UTC

Multiple voices are included to provide feedback to teachers: self, peers, principal, students, and parents.

2024-12-11 19:17:21 UTC

Seems like so many components, and parts, does it really work better than a more streamlined process?

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:17:27 UTC

straightforward and simple

2024-12-11 19:17:31 UTC

SMART-E Goal, self-assessment, goal setting, proposed evidence, optional pre-observation outline for teacher, summative reflection for teacher

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:17:54 UTC

unclear process; just a checklist; no rubric for growth

2024-12-11 19:18:14 UTC

A rubric that shows the continuum of expectations

2024-12-11 19:19:00 UTC

Includes "school performance measure" as 15% of score in past, but says that this score is not included in the evaluation now due to school changes. Transfers that 15% to formal observation and professional expectations.

2024-12-11 19:19:04 UTC

Doesn't look like they use Smart goals, so goals may be hard to measure.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:19:23 UTC

online with links

2024-12-11 19:19:26 UTC

Interesting partner option to promote collaboration

2024-12-11 19:19:48 UTC

Short form and long form look the same. Evaluation categories: strengths, challenges, recommendations are very broad.

mmizel2 — 2024-12-11 19:20:36 UTC

weighted components that contribute to the final outcome

2024-12-11 19:21:19 UTC

UDL lens of providing multiple options for evaluation, including observation, partner collaboration or portfolio

rhannan — 2024-12-11 19:21:25 UTC

Really like the partner summary option for perm employees. Speaks to collective efficacy and collaboration.

2024-12-11 19:21:40 UTC

Focuses on 3 standards per evaluation cycle, and includes quite a bit of writing and preparation that the teacher needs to do.
