Common use of Evidence and Artifacts Clause in Contracts

Evidence and Artifacts. The evaluator will collect and share artifacts and evidence necessary to complete the evaluation. The teacher may provide additional artifacts and evidence to aid in the assessment of the teacher’s professional performance against the instructional framework rubric, especially for those criteria not observed in the classroom. Said collection will be accomplished openly and, wherever possible, jointly. The evidence provided by the teacher shall be incorporated on the negotiated form prior to the post-observation conference, and be used to determine the final evaluation score. A teacher may, but shall not be required to submit artifacts for completion of the evaluation if not appropriate to his/her teaching assignment. The District commits to documenting the evidence of performance via observations and conversations to the greatest extent possible so as to lessen the time required by teachers to compile evidence readily available via observation. The evaluator may not require a specific number of pieces of evidence or artifacts.
