Common use of Comprehensive Evaluation Summative Score Clause in Contracts

Comprehensive Evaluation Summative Score. a. A teacher shall receive a summative performance rating for each of the eight (8) state evaluation criteria. Each teacher’s criterion scores are established using at least 50% of the components from each criterion and 100% of the student growth components. The Summative Criteria Score is the sum of the eight (8) criterion scores and is rated based on the summative scoring band, as follows. i. Unsatisfactory = 8-14 ii. Basic = 15-21 iii. Proficient = 22-28 iv. Distinguished = 29-32 b. An annual evaluation conference shall be no later than June 1 of the school year in which the evaluation takes place unless mutually agreed upon between evaluator and employee. At the conference, each criterion to be scored shall be rated using a preponderance of the evidence and based on an assessment of the teacher’s performance. i. The teacher will sign two (2) copies of the Final Summative Evaluation Report. ii. Signatures of the teacher required for the evaluation do not express agreement but merely receipt of that information. iii. Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the Summative Evaluation Rating, the teacher may submit signed comments that shall be attached to the report in the teacher’s District personnel file. iv. If there is a dispute between the evaluator and the employee regarding the rating, the parties shall have an opportunity to submit additional evidence within five (5) school days. The final decision is the responsibility of the evaluator. c. Any non-provisional teacher who has not been on comprehensive prior to the 2016-17 school year during our four (4) year roll out, will have his/her criteria rating determined using the “soft landing” first time model listed in our Evaluation Guide. Starting in the 2017-18 school year, all comprehensive scores will be the “ongoing” rating scale in the Evaluation Guide.
