Common use of Distinguished Clause in Contracts

Distinguished. Professional practice at Level 4 is that of a master professional whose practices operate at a qualitatively different level from those of other professional peers. To achieve this rating, a teacher would need to have received a majority of distinguished ratings on the criterion scores. A teacher at this level must show evidence of average to high impact on student growth. Ongoing, reflective teaching and leading is demonstrated through the highest level of expertise and commitment to all students' learning, challenging professional growth, and collaborative practice. The intention of this section is to mirror the requirements of RCW 28A-405.100. All classroom teachers shall receive a comprehensive summative evaluation at least once every four (4) years. A comprehensive summative evaluation assesses all eight evaluation criteria and all criteria contribute to the comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating. The following categories of classroom teachers shall receive an annual comprehensive summative evaluation: Classroom teachers who are provisional employees under RCW 28A.405.220; Any classroom teacher who received a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of level 1 or level 2 in the previous school year. In the years when a comprehensive summative evaluation is not required, classroom teachers who received a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of level 3 or above in the previous school year may move to the focused evaluation track. See definition for classroom teacher RCW 28A.405.100. For classroom teachers, the parties have agreed to the instructional framework developed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as approved by OSPI.
