INSTRUCTIONAL PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Sample Clauses
The INSTRUCTIONAL PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL clause establishes the process and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness and quality of instructional staff, such as teachers or trainers. Typically, this clause outlines the methods of assessment, which may include classroom observations, student feedback, and review of instructional materials, and sets forth the frequency and standards for these evaluations. Its core practical function is to ensure accountability and continuous improvement in instructional delivery, helping organizations maintain high educational standards and address performance issues proactively.

1. Planning 4. Professional Responsibilities
2. Classroom Management 5. Deliberate practice 3. Direct Instruction 6. Student Growth and Achievement The following includes the rating scale definitions and instructions for each rating area: Highly Effective Indicates performance that consistently meets an extremely high-quality standard. This service exceeds the typical standard of normal level service and is held in high regard by supervision and colleagues. Specific comments and examples of high-quality work must be included in the assessment. Effective Indicates performance that consistently meets a high-quality standard. This professional level service that meets the district expectations and is consistent with the experience level of the employee. Needs Improvement/Developing Indicates performance that requires additional attention to ensure an acceptable level of proficiency. Further, this performance is not consistently characteristic of the requirements for the position and experience of the employee. If this category is used, there must be written support regarding how performance is to be improved. The rating of Developing may be used for instructional personnel in the first three years of employment who need improvement. Unsatisfactory Indicates performance that does not meet the minimum requirements of the position and the level of performance commensurate with the experience of the employee. If this category is used, there must be written support regarding how performance is to be improved. The rating of Unsatisfactory indicates performance that is not acceptable for continued employment provided that level of service continues. An employee receiving this rating should be notified that future performance assessments will be conducted according to the Department of Education Professional Practices Services Section NEAT procedures. Continued performance at this level should result in notice of termination when the rights of due process and just cause are evident.
