TEACHER EVALUATION

 

Non-Tenure Teachers:

 

1.         Each non-tenure teacher shall be observed a minimum of three (3) times; two of which will take place during the first semester of each year.  The purpose of each observation is to evaluate the individual teacher and to identify problems that need to be corrected.

2.         Non-tenure teachers, at the end of each school year, shall meet with the principals of their respective schools to evaluate the year’s work.  A teacher’s strengths and weaknesses shall be discussed at the meeting.

3.         The teacher shall be informed of the purposes of these observations and the procedure to be employed by the observer.

 

Non-Tenure and Tenure Teachers:

 

  1. Annual written evaluations and/or recommendations for improving instruction shall be on file and available to the teacher.
  2. All monitoring or observation of the work performance of a teacher shall be conducted openly with full knowledge of the teacher.  The majority of teacher observations shall be scheduled; however, impromptu visits may take place at the administrator’s discretion.
  3. Observations shall be made by the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, Principal, Assistant Principal, and Director of Physical Education and Athletics.
  4. Within ten (10) working days of the observation, the observer shall meet with the teacher to discuss the observation.  The observer shall submit a written evaluation of the observation to the teacher and to the principal.  The principal will then forward the observation to the Office of the Superintendent to be kept on file.  The teacher shall have the right to rebut in writing this evaluation which will become part of the record.
  5. Teachers will be given a written copy of the supervisory reports of visits.
