Common use of Skilled Clause in Contracts

Skilled. Teachers who received a summative rating of “skilled” on the teacher’s most recent evaluation will have the subsequent evaluation in the second year of a two-year cycle, instead of an annual basis, so long as the teacher’s student growth measure rating is maintained at a rating of average or higher per state mandate. Each evaluation must include a minimum of two formal observation cycles (a cycle consists of a preconference, a formal announced observation of at least thirty minutes, post-conference, and evaluative walkthroughs (at least two) of between five and twenty minutes). Consistent with the requirement set forth in the Ohio Revised Code, in any year in which a teacher is not formally evaluated, the teacher will have at least one observation and conference with their evaluator.
