19. Educator Evidence • Who Collects the Evidence? • Both the Evaluator and the Educator may collect evidence. • Is the Educator Required to Provide Evidence? • When a “Distinguished” Rating is Given • If Principal and Teacher disagree on a Rating • When an “Unsatisfactory” Rating is Given

20. Educator Evidence • What is the Difference between Evidence “Noted in the System” and “providing” evidence?

21. “Noted in System” vs. “Providing” • First Determine if Evidence is Needed. • If Evidence is Needed: • Mutually agreed upon Evidence may be “Noted in the System”. • Evidence is “Provided” when the Evaluator is not fully aware of the evidence.
