Formal Observation Procedure a) All formal observations shall be preceded by a conference between the evaluator and the employee prior to the observation in order for the employee to explain plans and objectives for the classroom situation to be observed.
Formal Observation Procedure. A. The first formal observation shall be preceded by a conference between the evaluator and the employee prior to the observation in order for the employee to explain the plans and objectives for the classroom situation to be observed. The second observation may be unannounced. The third formal observation (if conducted) may be unannounced. The employee will be given at least two (2) school days’ notice of the date and time of any pre-conference.
Formal Observation Procedure. The observations will not be conducted when school counselors are engaged in counseling activities with students that require confidentiality. All formal observations shall be preceded by a conference between the evaluator and the employee prior to the observation in order for the employee to explain plans and objectives for the classroom situation to be observed.
Formal Observation Procedure. A. A minimum of two (2) formal observations shall be conducted to support summative evaluation. A formal observation shall last a minimum of thirty (30) continuous minutes. Efforts will be made by evaluators to facilitate a longitudinal view of a teacher's performance by appropriately spacing the observations. There shall be a minimum of (5) school days between formal non-continuous observations one and two. If a third observation is necessary, there shall at least (25) school days between observation number 2 and observation number 3 to xxxxxx improvement.
Formal Observation Procedure. A. A minimum of two (2) formal observations shall be conducted to support summative evaluation. A formal observation shall last a minimum of thirty
Formal Observation Procedure. (1) A minimum of one (1) observation shall be conducted to support each performance evaluation.
Formal Observation Procedure. 1. All formal observations shall be preceded by a conference no more than five (5) school days prior to each observation between the evaluator and the employee prior to the observation in order for the employee to explain plans and objectives for the classroom situation to be observed.
Formal Observation Procedure. Overview: The evaluation of a teacher on a formal cycle shall include submission of a Professional Growth Plan (PGP), a pre-observation conference, a holistic observation in the fall of at least 30 minutes, followed by a post-conference in which the educator and evaluator will mutually agree upon an area of growth to serve as the focus of future walkthroughs and the final focused evaluation in the spring, followed by a summative conference. Process: A minimum of two (2) formal observations shall be conducted: The first formal observation will be a holistic observation, in the fall, wherein the evaluator shall assess all areas of the rubric demonstrated during the observation, as well as give consideration to the information gained from any pre-observation conference or other resources provided by the teacher. After completion of the holistic observation, identified focus areas, which may include area(s) of relative strength and/or area(s) targeted for improvement, will be developed in accordance with the following: ● A teacher with a final evaluation rating of Accomplished (from the previous year) will select his/her own focus area(s). ● A teacher with a final evaluation rating of Skilled (from the previous year) will select focus area(s) in collaboration with his/her evaluator. ● A teacher with a final evaluation rating of Developing (from the previous year) will be guided by his/her evaluator in determining focus area(s). ● A teacher with a final evaluation rating of Ineffective (from the previous year) will have focus area(s) selected by the evaluator. ● A teacher new to the profession will select focus area(s) in collaboration with his/her evaluator. The second, and any subsequent, formal observation(s) in the spring will be a focused observation in which the evaluator assesses growth and/or development in an identified focus area(s). Each formal observation shall last a minimum of thirty (30) continuous minutes. There shall be at least two weeks between formal non-continuous observations unless otherwise agreed to by the teacher. Efforts will be made by evaluators to facilitate a longitudinal view of a teacher’s performance by appropriately spacing the observations. Evaluators will collect evidence during the focused observation to assess the identified focus area(s). Evaluators will also document evidence to support the final evaluation rating. Teachers shall not receive a formal observation on a day before or after any break of more than three
Formal Observation Procedure. (1) A teacher not under consideration for renewal or nonrenewal who is subject to a full evaluation cycle shall be evaluated based on at least two
Formal Observation Procedure. 3.5.1 All formal observations shall be preceded by a conference between the evaluator and the employee prior to the observation in order for the employee to explain plans and objectives for the classroom situation to be observed. The preconference shall typically be between 20 and 40 minutes in duration. The pre-conference shall be scheduled at a mutually agreeable day and time no more than five (5) school days prior to the scheduled observation, absent extenuating circumstances, with the evaluator setting a date should a mutually agreeable day be unattainable. Cancellation/rescheduling of a preconference will only occur as the result of extenuating circumstances. At the pre-conference, the evaluator and teacher shall discuss what the evaluator will observe during the classroom visitation and any other information relevant to the performance rubric. Important information is shared about the characteristics of the learners and learning environment. Specific information is also shared about the objectives of the lesson, the assessment of student learning, and any other relevant issues. Absent extenuating circumstances or unless agreed upon by the evaluator and teacher, the teacher will come prepared with a lesson plan for the day of the scheduled observation and any relevant data not available in eTPES. The teacher should also be prepared by having reviewed and completed pre-conference questions before the preconference, and by being ready to discuss what came before and will come after the lesson to be observed. The conference will also provide the teacher an opportunity to request focused feedback on identified areas from the evaluator during the classroom observation. Should the lesson plan change between the pre-conference and formal observation, the teacher shall provide a copy of the lesson plan in advance of the observation. Regarding pre-conference questions, the evaluator will provide the teacher with a maximum of fifteen (15) preconference questions. The selected pre-conference questions shall be consistent within each building. The teacher is to provide written responses to these questions in eTPES. The evaluator may ask additional questions about the lesson.
