Forms Needed

Self-Assessment

The teacher will be given a rubric-like form to complete prior to being observed. The rubric needs to be completed at the beginning of each full evaluation cycle.

The self-assessment is kept by the teacher for documentation and future reference. In addition, the teacher will use his/her self-assessment to develop the Professional Learning Plan in collaboration with the evaluator at the end of the school year.

Self-Assessment Form

Classroom Observations

The teacher will have 2 or more unannounced observations:

1^st - October-November

2^nd -February-March

The observation will last a minimum of 45 minutes.

The evaluator will take anecdotal notes* and complete a check list to indicate which activities are observed in the classroom. After each observation, the evaluator will have a post-observation conference.
