Section 29-6 - Submission of Certified Personnel Evaluation Systems

Each school district within the state shall submit a copy of its Evaluation Systems for all Certified Personnel to the Department. Once established and filed with the Department, the Evaluation System will stand unless changed or Significantly Amended by the district at which time the new system or Significantly Amended system must be resubmitted. Each district shall include in its submission the following documentation, corresponding to each criteria described in Section 5:

(a) A list of members of the committee that was used to develop and/or adopt the Evaluation System. The list contains appropriate representation of Stakeholders;

(b) A list of Performance Criteria on which the Certified Personnel are evaluated. The criteria are defined sufficiently so that an outside reader will clearly understand each criterion. Evidence is provided that each criterion is Research-Based or reflective of Best-Practice;

(c) A description of how the evaluation process is linked to individual and collective professional growth. The description must also include how and when the system provides feedback to each Certified Personnel member and provides opportunities to identify area(s) for improvement and suggestions for how improvement can occur;

(d) Evidence that evaluators are trained on the evaluation process and trained to view criteria similarly so that Certified Personnel across the district are evaluated with consistency;

(e) A description of how the Evaluation System provides for collection of data critical for use in making employment decisions, such as retention or termination. The evaluation instruments and types and amount of data to be collected must be sufficient to provide the required documentation;

(f) A list that details the types of data and how it will be collected in order to make decisions about the Summative Evaluations;

(g) Identification of the types of Student Performance Growth Data, specific to each Certified Personnel's position, that is used in the evaluation process. The Summative Evaluations will identify the outcome of reviewing Student Performance Growth Data, such as identification of a professional development goal, modification of instructional practice, or identification of groups of students that need remediation or enrichment; and

(h) The details of the Evaluation System include the differentiation in evaluations between initial-contract and continuing-contract teachers; the frequency of observations during Evaluation Cycles; any type of assistance or remediation that is provided; and any other requirements of the Evaluation Cycles used by the district, such as action research or portfolios.
