Principals’ Council Meetings May 2013

 Given feedback from multiple stakeholders and after much deliberation, PDE has made the determination to classify individuals working under instructional certifications who do not provide direct instruction to students as non-teaching professionals as defined in Act 82.  Given that they are working under an instructional certification they will be evaluated utilizing the Framework for Teaching. However, the observation component will constitute 80% and the multiple measures component will be 20% of professional’s evaluation. Additionally, they will not be evaluated under Act 82 till the fall of 2014.
