Evaluation Step 1: Teacher Self Assessment due to Evaluator by October 1
The first step of the evaluation cycle is Self-Assessment. This includes an assessment of strengths and priority areas for both student learning and professional practice. This page has information specific to the Self-Assessment process. A. Completing the Self-Assessment i. The evaluation cycle begins with the Educator completing and submitting to the Evaluator a self-assessment by October 1st or within four weeks of the start of their employment at the school. ii. The self-assessment includes: a. An analysis of evidence of student learning, growth and achievement for students under the Educator’s responsibility. b. An assessment of practice against each of the four Performance Standards of effective practice using the district’s rubric. c. Proposed goals to pursue: (1st) At least one goal directly related to improving the Educator’s own professional practice. (2nd) At least one goal directly related to improving student learning. SMART Goal Writing of Professional Practice Goal Remember that your goal should meet the S.M.A.R.T. framework. Specific and Strategic: Outline the behaviors and/or products that will be the outcome of your goal. Be sure to narrow the scope of your goal – it is better to focus on a specific skill or behavior and do well than to attempt to make great leaps in too many areas. (See Attainable, below) This is a good place to make sure you link to one of the elements from the rubric. Measurable: How will you and the evaluator know that you have met your goal? This does not need to be a quantitative measurement. Action-Oriented and Attainable: You need to DO something as part of your goal – implement a new strategy, create a product, etc. Set reasonable expectations. You are working oncontinuous improvement toward a rigorous standard. Relevant: Your goal should be related to your core practice. Again, take a look at the appropriate rubric to see that your goal aligns with your responsibilities as an educator. Timely / Time-bound: Set target dates and benchmarks or determine how frequently the action will occur. Depending upon the nature of your goal and educator plan (1-year or 2-year), you may decide to stretch your actions over two years with a review of your progress at the mid-cycle formative assessment. Resources: This is not included in the SMART goal framework but is part of the goal report. Think about what you might need to be successful. Is there a conference or professional development class that would help you develop needed skills? A book or other materials that would help you accomplish your task? These should go in the Resources section of the goal form. |
