Common use of Member Evaluation Schedule Clause in Contracts

Member Evaluation Schedule. All members will receive one formal written evaluation each school year except for those members who received a Final Summative Rating of “Accomplished” or “Skilled” on their most recent evaluation. Those members who receive a Final Summative Rating of “Accomplished” on their most recent evaluation will be evaluated every three years as long as the member’s student growth measure for the most recent school year for which data is available is average or higher. Those members who receive a Final Summative Rating of “Skilled” on their most recent evaluation will be evaluated every two years as long as the teacher’s student growth measure for the most recent school year for which data is available is average or higher. In any year in which a member who has not been formally evaluated as a result of having previously received a rating of “Accomplished” or “Skilled”, a credentialed evaluator shall conduct one thirty (30) minute observation and hold at least one post-conference with the member. The first pre-conference, observations and post-conference must be completed by the beginning of the December winter recess. The second pre-conference (if applicable), observation and post-conference must be completed between January 1 and April 30, and the evaluation conference held by May 10. If a member is in the final year of a limited or extended limited contract and is under consideration for nonrenewal, that member shall receive at least three formal observations. In that case the first pre- conference, observation and post-conference must be completed by the beginning of the December winter recess. The second pre-conference, observation and post-conference must be completed between January 1 and February 15. The third pre-conference, observation and post-conference must be completed between February 16 and April 15, and the evaluation conference must be held by the first school day in May. If the principal or other evaluator decides that any member should only receive two formal observations in the last year of his/her limited contract, that member will not be non-renewed at the end of that limited contract. A member who is on leave for fifty (50) percent or more of the school year will not be evaluated. A member who is retiring at the end of the school year will not be evaluated as long as that member has submitted a notice of retirement on or before December 1 of that school year. Other formal evaluations may be conducted if a member applies for a continuing contract, has a new assignment, or has been assigned to another building.
