changes in the End-of-year data collection
From a statewide perspective: No longer ‘every educator’ will
be required to have an end-of-year rating to be collected, only ‘Career Summative’ educators.
However, districts may continue this practice.1)
To
clean-up the data on teacher performance
2)
To
permit more support and less judgment for educators in phases of professional growthSlide20
Org admin assignsOnly Career Summative Educators will appear on the End-of-Year task tab for Observers.Slide21
Org admin continuesNon-summative educators will have a message on the Learner Home Page.Slide22
Observers scheduleEducators will no longer have ‘End-of-Year Summative Meetings, but
a ‘PGP Review/Update Meeting’ will be held where End-of-Year Snapshots may be created. Slide23
