Each teacher will be evaluated using evidence gathered by the evaluator through observations, walkthroughs, pre- and post-conferences and other sources of supporting data.

When applicable, value-added data shall be one of the measures. Other HQSD measures shall be recommended by a Joint Evaluation Committee. The Committee will be comprised of at least five (5) Association members appointed by the Association President and members appointed by the Superintendent/designee.
