ANNUAL EVALUATION OF TEACHERS. In order to maintain a high level of professional performance by all teachers they shall receive the advantage of continuing observation and conferences designed to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and to promote maximum growth. While electronic devices, such as tape recorders and video recorders may be used for assisting teachers, they will not be used for the observation or evaluation of teachers. Written evaluations shall be prepared by the supervisory personnel and a copy shall be forwarded to the Superintendent's Office on a schedule to be announced annually. A copy of each evaluation must be furnished to the teacher concerned. Following is the procedure for submission of these evaluation reports: The principal of each school writes an evaluation on all teachers assigned to that building. The evaluations are signed by the teachers. The teacher's signature indicates only that the evaluation has been read. It is not an indication of approval of the contents contained in the evaluation. The teacher's signature on an evaluation must be accompanied by a statement indicating that the evaluation has been read. Should teachers disagree with the contents of an evaluation, they have the right to submit written addenda within two (2) weeks of the dates of evaluation conferences to supervisors responsible for evaluations in question. Written addenda will be physically attached to evaluations before they are forwarded to the Superintendent's Office and placed in teachers' personnel files. After all signatures have been affixed to evaluations they are distributed as follows:
ANNUAL EVALUATION OF TEACHERS. A. All teachers shall be observed and evaluated based upon the APPR procedures and instruments contained herein. This agreement shall cover the period of July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017.
