Final Summative Score. 1. Prior to the end of year the evaluator shall provide the teacher with a final summative score including the student growth score which must be determined by an analysis of evidence. All evidence, measures and observations used in developing the final summative score must be a product of the school year in which the evaluation is conducted. A meeting to discuss this score will occur but may be cancelled by mutual agreement of the teacher and evaluator.
Final Summative Score. Focused Evaluation The score received for the selected criterion is the score assigned as the final summative score (Distinguished = 4, Proficient = 3, Basic = 2, Unsatisfactory = 1). If the teacher is focusing on criterion one (1), two (2), five (5), six (6), and eight (8) a minimum of 50% of the components must be scored in the selected criteria. In addition, the two (2) components from the teacher’s selected student growth goal will be included in the final summative score for the focused evaluation. For criterion eight (8), only the one student growth goal will be scored. If the teacher is focusing on criterion three (3), four (4), and seven (7) 100% of the components must be scored in the selected criteria. In addition, the two (2) components from the teacher’s selected student growth goal will be included in the final summative score for the focused evaluation. Components scores within a criterion, and the included student growth scores, will be averaged and rounded to reach a final criterion score. When a final criterion score includes a fractional number (for example 2.33), all scores with fractions below .50 will be rounded down and all fractions .50 or above will be rounded up. For example, a score of 2.33 would receive a final criterion score of 2 and a score of 2.50 would receive a final criterion score of 3.
