3. Project COACH This model is about developing a shared understanding of what good teaching looks like 4-level Scoring System This model is primarily about development and collaboration

4. Design of Mini-Observations • Principals see everyday teaching in action • Principals give prompt, meaningful feedback • Teachers and evaluators discuss feedback

5. Components to each mini-observation Classroom Observation 1 • Unannounced • Minimum of 10 minutes • Classroom instruction, teacher planning session, parent meeting, extra-curricular activity

6. Components to each mini-observation Communication 2 • Administrator discusses observation with teacher, giving specific and actionable feedback on both strengths and areas for growth • Meeting will be face-to-face • Meetings to last 5-10 minutes • Ideally occurs in classroom or neutral location • Administrator to deliver feedback within 2 school days

7. Components to each mini-observation Documentation 3 • Administrator completes the observation template in T-Eval including brief notes on the observation with a focus on the feedback conversation within 5 school days • The template will provide teachers with an opportunity to respond in writing

8. The number of length of observations will range from 4 to 8, depending upon the teacher’s certification and any previous observation data.

9. Components of Summative Evaluation Observations/Evidence 1 • Minimum required mini-observations • Additional non-classroom observations conducted • Other information such as portfolios or artifacts, if applicable

10. Components of Summative Evaluation Scoring/Feedback 2 • Administrator scores each teacher across all indicators within the applicable domains • Rating of 1-4 (1=Does not meet standards; 4=Highly effective) • Administrator provides comments, examples • Administrator selects “allow teacher to view”

11. Components of Summative Evaluation Communication 3 • Evaluator communicates evaluation to teacher during conference • Individualized professional growth plan is developed in collaboration with teacher • PIP developed when required • Evaluator “submits” evaluation

12. Portfolios/Artifacts • Specific artifacts identified by the administrator as a requirement must be submitted by the last date for mini-observations. • Additional artifacts may be submitted by the teacher in response to any scored indicators on the summative. These artifacts must be submitted within 5 days of the Summative Conference.

13. Artifacts to use for Summatives
