  3. Cobb Keys Speech/Language Pathologist Evaluation Process The performance evaluation process for SLPs consists of two components: Instructional observations by school-based evaluator and Lead SLP. Lead SLPs will also complete the SLP Performance Survey and provide it to the Principal.

  4. Classroom Observations Evaluators are encouraged to conduct pre-observation conferences with their evaluates prior to the classroom observation. Evaluators will observe SLPs in the classroom at least once during the school year using the CCSD SLP Observation Form Performance assessment observations must occur prior to April 1st (OCGA 20-2-210). SLPs with three years or less teaching SLP experience will be observed at least twice during the school year, the second of which may be an unannounced observation. All formal classroom observation date(s) will be entered on the SLP Performance Report form, Section V.

  5. Classroom Observations • Each observation must last for at least thirty minutes; the evaluator must document the observation on the computerized SLP Instructional Observation Form. Observation Feedback Conferences • Following each observation, the evaluator will provide formal feedback to the SLP on what was observed. Private feedback conferences between the evaluator and SLP should occur within 10 school days of the observation. • The date(s) of the feedback conferences will be entered on the SLP Performance Report Form, Section V. Feedback conferences must occur prior to April 1st (OCGA 20-2-210).

  6. SLP Performance Report All SLPs will be evaluated at least annually using the CCSD SLP Performance Report Form. Any SLP who works for thirty or more days in a school year must have an annual evaluation. This includes SLPs on a limited contract and any SLP who may resign or be terminated prior to April 1. Evaluators will use the SLP Performance Report Rubric to assess whether the SLP earns “Proficient”, “Emerging”, or “Unsatisfactory” ratings on each of the four Performance Factors (Section II, A-D). a. Not Evident: Not easy to see; not obvious b. Emerging: Evolving; showing new or improved development c. Proficient: Highly competent; skilled; adept; an expert

  7. SLP Performance Report The Overall Performance Rating of “Unsatisfactory”, “Emerging”, or “Proficient” is assigned based upon the legend in Section III of the Annual Report Form. a. Proficient – 4 “Proficient” Standards ratings and a “Satisfactory” Summary Rating on Professional Duties and Responsibilities b. Emerging – Fewer than 4 “Proficient” Standards ratings (no more than 1 “Not Evident”) and “Satisfactory” or “Needs Improvement” Summary Rating on Duties/Responsibilities. c. Unsatisfactory – 2 or more “Not Evident” Standards ratings OR “Unsatisfactory” Summary Rating on Duties/Responsibilities. SLPs earning an Overall Performance Rating of “Unsatisfactory” must be placed on a PDP to support remediation of performance deficiencies. Please consult with the Speech Language Program Supervisor if a PDP is being considered.
