Alternative Evaluation Process. Permanent bargaining unit members who are on step 6 or higher of the salary schedule may participate in alternative evaluation. In the event the evaluator does not agree to the alternative evaluation cycle, the evaluator will provide, in writing, the reason(s) based on observed concerns aligned with the California Standards for the Teaching Profession, and the unit member will participate in the formal evaluation process. To participate in an alternative evaluation the teacher must have received a satisfactory evaluation in the previous cycle. The intent of the alternative evaluation shall be to allow the teacher to direct his or her own professional growth in one or more activities that relate to the California Teaching Standards as listed above. The teacher in collaboration with the evaluator will complete an alternative evaluation contract. Alternative Evaluations shall be completed by April 30 unless an extension is mutually agreed upon, but no later than June 1. If the teacher does not complete the alternative evaluation, the teacher will be placed on the formal evaluation cycle for the next school year as outlined in Article 10.2.
