Focused Evaluation. The Focused evaluation is a growth-oriented, teacher/evaluator collaborative process that requires teachers to be evaluated as described below. A teacher must complete a Comprehensive evaluation once every six (6) years. In subsequent years, teachers will be evaluated on a Focused evaluation unless a comprehensive is requested by the teacher or supervisor. Reflecting the new language of WAC 392-191A-120, a summative score is assigned using the summative score of the most recent comprehensive evaluation. This score becomes the focused summative evaluation score for any of the subsequent years following the comprehensive summative evaluation in which the certificated classroom teacher is placed on a focused criterion, a level 4 (Distinguished) score may be awarded by the evaluator.
