In alignment with the
2004 SEA contract, the
Professional Growth & Evaluation Taskforce is designing a new
system for professional support and assessment. Based on the
feedback from the 2003
district-wide evaluation focus groups, this new evidence-based
system will focus on teacher/certificated support staff
development, student achievement, the Professional
Practice Standards, collaboration, and equity. This new system
will also be differentiated by level of experience.
For these new
evaluation structures to be successful and sustainable, the
taskforce will generate recommendations for systemic changes
necessary to support professional learning communities and to
ensure stakeholders acquire the skills and supports needed. The
taskforce carried out an initial pilot of the new structures in the
2006-07 school year and will begin pilot phase two in the fall of
2008. However, permanent and district-wide changes to the
evaluation system require ratification by SEA membership and
approval of the School Board. The taskforce included
representatives from SEA, PASS, and Central Office, and advisors
from the Alliance for Education, Teachers for a New Era, and the
Center for Teaching Quality. This process assumes:
