  2. Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force • What is the Purpose of a Teacher Evaluation? • Establish a clear definition of what constitutes good teaching • Quality Assurance • Professional Learning • Research tells us that the influence of teachers is the single-most important factor in determining student achievement, even more so than socioeconomic status • (Sanders & Rivers, 1996; Collias, Pajak, & Rigden, 2000).

  3. Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force • Traditional Teacher Evaluation Models • An often flawed system due to: • Few shared assumptions about good teaching • Lack of precision in evaluation • Lack of factual, concrete data • No consistency in determining what is a good lesson vs. an unsatisfactory one • Does not allow for reflection and instructional conversation on good teaching • That is why we need the change!

  4. Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force • An Effective Teacher Evaluation Model • An effective teacher evaluation system should contain the following elements: • Clear definition of teaching, including a standard for what is acceptable performance • Instruments and procedures that provide evidence of teaching • Trained evaluators who make consistent judgments about performance based on evidence • Process for teachers to understand the evaluative criteria • Process for making final judgment

  5. Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force • What is a Teacher Evaluation? • Teacher Evaluation is not classroom observation alone. • Procedures that Should be Contained in an Effective Teacher Evaluation Model: • Observations of practice • Conferences • Samples of student work, with analysis • Teacher artifacts

  6. Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force • State Statutes and Board Rule • Governing Teacher Evaluations • 33-514 (Issuance of Annual Contracts – Support programs – Categories of contracts – Optional placement) • 33-515 (Issuance of renewable contracts) • 08.02.02.120 (Local District Evaluation Policy)

  7.

Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force • State Statute 33-515 After the third full year of employment and at least once annually, the performance of each such certificated employee, school nurse, or school librarian shall be evaluated according to criteria and procedures established by the board of trustees in accordance with general guidelines approved by the state board of education.

  9. State Board Rule 08.02.02.120 Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force The process of developing criteria and procedures for certificated personnel evaluation will allow opportunities for input from those affected by the evaluation; i.e., trustees, administrators and teachers. The evaluation policy will be a matter of public record and communicated to the certificated personnel for whom it is written. Local school district policies will include, at a minimum, the following information: Purpose Evaluation criteria Evaluator Sources of data Procedure Communication of results Personnel actions Appeal Remediation Monitoring and evaluation At a minimum, the policy must provide standards for evaluating the following personnel: First-, second-, and third-year nonrenewable contract personnel will be evaluated at least once prior to the beginning of the second semester of the school year. All renewable contract personnel will be evaluated at least once annually. Each school district board of trustees will develop policies in which criteria and procedures for the evaluation of certificated personnel are established. Permanent records of each certificated personnel evaluation will be maintained in the employee’s personnel file. Each district evaluation policy will include provisions for evaluating all certificated employees identified in Section 33-1001, Idaho Code, Subsection 13
