Documentation 3

The template will provide teachers with an opportunity to respond in writing

8. The number of length of observations will range from 4 to 8, depending upon the teacher’s certification and any previous observation data.

9. Components of Summative Evaluation
Observations/Evidence 1
Minimum required mini-observations
Additional non-classroom observations conducted
Other information such as portfolios or artifacts, if applicable

10. Components of Summative Evaluation
Scoring/Feedback 2
Administrator scores each teacher across all indicators within the applicable domains
Rating of 1-4 (1=Does not meet standards; 4=Highly effective)

Specific artifacts identified by the administrator as a requirement must be submitted by the last date for mini-observations.
Additional artifacts may be submitted by the teacher in response to any scored indicators on the summative. These artifacts must be submitted within 5 days of the Summative Conference.
