9. The entire evaluation process is based on the NC Professional Teaching Standards. If your teachers are knowledgeable about this document, it will make your job as an evaluator much easier.

10. The Sixth Standard for Teachers:

11. Effective Teachers Effective Teacher Highly Effective Teacher
Student Growth Meets Expectations
Proficient or Higher on All Standards
Effective Teacher
Student Growth Exceeds Expected Growth
Accomplished or Higher on All Standards
Highly Effective Teacher
We know that three years of data will be collected before any teacher’s performance is evaluated by student growth data, so few teachers are affected this year. Teachers will be evaluated on this standard as this graph reflects.

12. Annual Evaluation Policy:

13. Standards Overview Standard 1: Teachers Demonstrate Leadership
Standard 2: Teachers Establish a Respectful Environment for Diverse Population of Students
Standard 3: Teachers Know the Content They Teach
Standard 4: Teachers Facilitate Learning for Their Students
Standard 5: Teachers Reflect on Their Practice
F2F: Create small groups. Each group is given a piece of chart paper to create a poster of the NC Teacher Professional Teaching Standards. The group is to focus on the gist of the NCPTS so they recognize what the actual standard is about. After about 7 minutes each group shares their product with the entire whole group. Gallery Walk around the room to examine each poster. Add and modify the posters as they are discussed. Total time 20 minutes 13
