EvaluationNo new changes
Clarify Evidence 5.2.E:
Final Evidence is Based on Evidence Gathered During the Inquiry Cycles – Evidence is
mainly collected during observations
as recorded in the evaluator scripts. Observations shall mean “the gathering of evidence made through classroom or worksite visits, or other visits, work samples, or conversations” between the staff member and evaluator. In addition to observed practices,
evidence may also be gathered through
answers to wonderings, artifacts, and student growth data. (if applicable). Prior to completing summative evaluation, the evaluator will discuss how all evidence was considered in determining the summative evaluation.Slide13

Collaboration & Staff Meetings 7.2.A.1.l &7.2.A.2.D
Key Clarifications
PLCs follow the DuFour Model
30 minutes of PLC early release can be used as determined by SLT to support
SIP, if not used then PLC time is still 90 minutes
Focus is on the work, not the
paperwork: Only thing required to be turned in each time is the quick summary sheet
When principals visit PLCs or during evaluation conferences, Principal can still ask about other elements of the DuFour Process, such as
“Which of the four questions are you working on
?,” “What is your teams’ SMART Goal?” and “Can I see Common Formative Assessments?”
ESPs PLC too in rotation, as described in the language (calendar and support frameworks are currently being gathered)
Staff meeting content is determined by SLT in support of SIP
One staff meeting a year outside of the 10, and one hour of the retreat, needs to be about staff driven discipline concerns, Slide17
